Difference Between Laboratory Furniture and Ordinary Bench

In terms of appearance, laboratory furniture is no different from ordinary furniture, but the price in the market is quite different. Many people may wonder: why is the price of laboratory furniture so high? Can laboratory furniture be replaced by ordinary furniture? The answer is No. the functions of laboratory furniture and general furniture are completely different, and the materials are also very different. As for the specific reasons, Now Jiangsu Jiahong Laboratory Equipment Co., Ltd will be offering you a detailed introduction which might help you.

First of all, we should know that there is a great difference between laboratory furniture and ordinary furniture used in life. Laboratory furniture is a kind of special furniture specially designed for the laboratory. It needs a variety of characteristics to meet the needs of the laboratory test environment; Ordinary furniture is only used to decorate the room.

Secondly, in terms of material, laboratory furniture is much better than general furniture. The material of ordinary furniture is relatively single. In order to save more costs, more expensive and high-quality plates will not be adopted. Generally, 16-18mm MDF or chipboard having poor overall compressive effect and poor fire prevention and waterproof capacity. Because of different working environment, laboratory furniture generally has very good performance on bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, compression resistance, fire prevention etc.

In addition, many laboratory furniture also have auxiliary equipment. For example, fume hood. Fume hood are equipped with automatic exhaust system, which is equivalent to a small air conditioner, but they are all to adapt to the complex indoor environment. Ordinary furniture does not have such a function. Therefore, laboratory furniture cannot be replaced by ordinary furniture. The laboratory bench, lab storage cabinet, laboratory sink and lab faucet in the fume hood in the laboratory furniture have the characteristics of corrosion and acid-base resistance. This is what ordinary furniture does not have.

For the fume hood in the laboratory furniture, the ventilation duct used shall adopt an independent exhaust system. The exhaust system of the fume hood should be set independently, and it is not suitable to share the air duct, let alone borrow the fire air duct.
