Acid & solvent work
Hydrochloric, nitric, and organic solvent operations with fumes captured at the hood face.
Vector VTR-13-015 laboratory fume hood — local exhaust containment for acids, solvents, and hazardous vapours in cement and materials QC laboratories.

Fume Hood
Local exhaust · acids & solvents · sash containment · ducted ventilation
Overview
The Vector VTR-13-015 Fume Hood provides local exhaust containment for laboratory work with acids, solvents, and hazardous vapours — capturing fumes at the source before they spread across the bench or breathing zone.
An enclosed work chamber with sliding sash and ducted exhaust draws contaminated air away from the operator while reactions, digestions, and solvent handling proceed inside the hood. The VTR-13-015 suits cement and materials QC laboratories that run wet chemistry beside balances, mills, and furnaces.
Vector configures the hood for your room layout, exhaust duct routing, and internal SOPs — including face velocity targets, sash use, and safe chemical handling practice aligned with ISO 17025 laboratories.

Standards & conformity
Browse the standards library
Supports chemical-handling and exhaust-containment workflows referenced in your health-and-safety and quality system. Supplied as CE-marked equipment with Vector support for installation, airflow verification, and operator training.
Applications
Contained exhaust for laboratories that handle aggressive chemistry — from acid digestions to solvent evaporation on cement and materials testing lines.
Cement & mortar QC
Wet chemistry, digestions, and reagent handling on cement, clinker, and binder qualification programmes.
Sample preparation
Evaporation, fuming, and volatile reagent steps before gravimetric, XRF, or wet analysis.
Plant laboratories
Daily chemical safety on high-throughput site and commercial testing benches.
Key features
Reliable exhaust capture, sash-controlled access, and installation support for everyday chemical laboratory safety.
Local capture
Ducted airflow removes vapours and aerosols from the work chamber before they reach the operator.
Sliding front
Adjustable sash height for safe access while maintaining containment during active work.
Work space
Enclosed bench area for beakers, hot plates, and small apparatus used in wet chemistry.
Ventilation tie-in
Exhaust connection to laboratory fan and duct network per site mechanical design.
Chemical handling
Designed for routine use with acids, solvents, and fume-generating cement-laboratory methods.
Laboratory equipment
CE-marked unit for plant QC, commercial testing houses, and university research.
Exhaust containment & operation
Work is performed inside the hood with the sash set to a safe opening height. The exhaust fan draws air across the chamber face and through the duct, carrying vapours and aerosols away from the operator. Operators keep reactions and solvent handling inside the enclosure for the full duration of fume-generating steps.
- Face capture — airflow designed to contain routine acid and solvent operations.
- Sash discipline — maintain containment during active and idle periods per SOP.
- Vector support — installation layout, duct connection, and airflow verification guidance.
