OSHA does not have specific requirements for fume hood face velocity. The most widely accepted references on this subject ANSI/AIHA Z9.5 American National Standard for Laboratory Ventilation and the National Research Council’s Prudent Practices in the Laboratory recommend face velocities of 80 to 120 feet per minute (FPM).
