A typical fume hood has a box like structure with a moveable sash window. In general, a hood’s face velocity is recommended to be between 0. 3 m/s (60 fpm) and 0. 5 m/s (100 fpm), however it is important to check with local safety regulations on the face velocity recommendation before using the fume hoods.
