Perchloric Acid Fume Hood

Special-purpose fume hood designed specifically for perchloric acid procedures. Based on the Defender-series superstructure, it features a one-piece Type 316 stainless steel interior with coved corners, integral work surface, and wash-down system. Regular wash-down cleanses perchloric salts into a full-length sloped trough contained in the work surface. This hood should be used for perchloric acid only.

IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?

Need help configuring your Perchloric Acid Fume Hood? Our experts can guide you through options.

Best for

Perchloric acid procedures that require Type 316 stainless construction, integrated wash-down, sloped trough drainage, and perchloric-salt management.

Not ideal for

Not for general fume hood applications where a standard benchtop hood is sufficient. Use only where perchloric-acid compatibility and wash-down are required.

COMPLIANCE & SAFETY

What it meets

ASHRAE 110 containment-testing references, SEFA fume hood guidance, UL-related electrical review where applicable, and NFPA/ANSI ventilation planning context for perchloric acid applications.

Why it matters

Helps project teams review containment, exhaust, washdown/material requirements, and safety documentation before specifying a perchloric acid hood.

Where it applies

Use where perchloric acid work is planned. Final requirements depend on the hood configuration, washdown/exhaust design, facility safety review, and local authority having jurisdiction.

You receive pricing + lead time + next steps

Is this quote-only?

Yes. Fume hoods should be quoted by configuration because width, liner, sash, services, blower, and base/countertop selections affect the final product.

Are blowers included?

Blowers are listed as optional equipment and should be sized to the hood and ductwork.

Can dimensions be customized?

Standard sizes are available on the cut sheets; custom sizes are available where noted and must be validated by iQ Labs.
