How can I tell if my flow hood is blowing enough air?

Hold a lighter in front of the flow hood, roughly 3-6 inches away from the face of the filter. The flame should have a 30-90 degree bend.
-
You can also run regular open air petri dish tests in front of the unit to ensure you are working with the cleanest filter possible.
Do you ship to other countries?
