Validating the Fume Adsorber Face

Velocity

To determine the actual face velocity at the sash opening, airflow velocity readings
are taken. The “average face velocity” is achieved by taking readings in two rows
across the enclosure with the readings 6" from the ends and evenly spaced every
12". The average velocity across the opening of the enclosure is 35 fpm and should
be validated. Do not use the enclosure with an average velocity of less than 25
fpm. Consult your safety officer.

NOTE: Face velocity profiles and smoke testing should be
performed at least monthly
