Perchloric Acid
Fume Hoods
Perchloric Acid Fume Hood Installation
Perchloric acid fume hoods are a core part of any lab that handles corrosive and reactive substances. These specialized ventilation systems are built to safely contain perchloric acid (HClO₄) fumes, which can become hazardous when not properly controlled. Our team at PSA Laboratory Furniture delivers high-performance perchloric acid fume hoods with professional installation and lab design services across the United States.
Why a Perchloric Acid Fume Hood Is Important
When heated or mixed with organic substances, perchloric acid releases highly reactive vapors. A perchloric acid fume hood keeps those vapors away from lab personnel and out of the workspace by capturing them at the source. This protects your team and helps you stay compliant with lab safety requirements.
These hoods must be ducted and feature wash-down systems to remove any residue that could form explosive crystals inside the ductwork. That’s why you need a model engineered explicitly for perchloric acid; standard fume hoods simply aren’t designed for that level of chemical resistance.
Perchloric Acid Lab Hood Features & Specifications
Our perchloric acid fume hoods come with everything your lab needs for safe and efficient ventilation:
- Airflow Management: Designed to reduce turbulence and improve capture performance.
- Safety Glass: A 7/32” thick panel with an 18” H sash lock protects lab staff and allows for smooth operation.
- Lighting: Vapor-proof T-8 fluorescent light fixture with bulbs for bright, safe visibility inside the hood.
- Construction: Built with a 16-gauge internal structural frame and stainless steel interior for long-term durability.
- Materials: All interior surfaces are stainless steel to resist corrosion and allow for easy wash-down cleaning.
