Details: During independent testing, the Protector XStream Hood was challenged well beyond the SEFA-1 standards. With a face velocity of 40 fpm and sash fully open, the Protector XStream was subjected to 50 fpm cross drafts, NIH protocol, and tracer gas measurements in the chest of the mannequin. In all scenarios, the Protector XStream allowed 0.00 ppm average level of tracer gas outside the fume hood. Although your safety officer or industrial hygienist will determine the actual face velocity setting for your laboratory, the ability of the Protector Hood to contain under these adverse conditions sets a new standard of safety. Safety is foremost, but energy savings is equally impressive. Although face velocity is a factor, it's the volumetric rate (CFM) that determines the energy consumption of a fume hood. Operating a 6' Protector XStream Hood at 60 fpm face velocity, with the sash in its fully open position, requires only 690 CFM. Regardless of your desired operating face velocity, the Protector XStream yields the lowest required CFM.
