![]() | Flowhood Air Sterility Distance How many inches/feet can someone expect to have "sterile" air when using a flowhood? I've seen hoods with and without sides in front of the filter and was wondering if the sides increase the sterile air flow. |

![]() ![]() | The extensions on all sides of the flowhood increase the distance for sterile air flow. The edges protect from non-sterile air from invading your work space. There is no set length that air will travel as flowhoods vary in cfm ratings, shapes and size. There is a simple test for adequate airflow by assuring that the flame of a candle is bending 90 degrees when lit, while in front of the flowhoods discharge. -feds
