Fume Hood Certification
We are currently certifying all
fume hoods on campus.
The Chemical Hygiene Plan states
that all chemical fume hoods will be tested annually
to insure that they have adequate flow for chemical
containment. The criteria for acceptable fume hood
performance at IUPUI has been set at a minimum average
face velocity of 80 feet per minute (100 feet per
minute is preferred) with the sash set a height
of 12-18 inches.
All fume hoods that pass our minimum
face velocity requirement of 80 fpm will be tagged
with a yellow sticker showing the maximum height
for your fume hood sash and the average face velocity.
If a fume hood fails to meet the 80 fpm requirement,
it will be tagged with a “Do Not Use”
sign. If you find your hood tagged with one of these
signs, please do not use the fume hood until the
fume hood has been fixed by facilities and the sign
has been removed by a member of EHS staff.
