Fume hoods are a primary source of protection in laboratories. Face velocity measurements are often used to gauge the performance of a fume hood’s ability to contain and exhaust harmful vapors. By measuring and controlling face velocity, TSI FHC50 Fume Hood Controllers provide a higher level of fume hood safety and energy efficiency.
