BS EN 16589-1:2022 PDF

Scope: 1 Scope This document is applicable to articulated extraction arms used as a local exhaust device in laboratories and comprised of a specific capture device (receiving, enclosing or capture hood, nozzle or flat screen) connected to ducting to move air from the capture device to discharge. This document is a product standard. This document covers product performance type test methods. Occupational health and safety assessments methods are not included in this document. This document specifies: • a method to assess the three-dimensional capture zone of an articulated extract arms; • a method for assessing the isothermal and diffusive emission release capture efficiency of articulated extract arms and robustness to a challenge of air disturbance directly in front of and in close proximity to the capture hood and release source positioned on a table; • a method for establishing the reachable, three-dimensional workspace of articulated extract arms; • a method for measuring the pressure drop and noise level of articulated extract arms; • instructions for marking the devices and recommended information in ...
