Examples of welding fume capture equipment include slotted fume hoods, articulating arms, and hose assemblies with magnetic base receptors. Slotted fume hoods provide a "hands free" system, are typically set on a table back or wall mounted, and contain multiple slots sized for the necessary capture velocity. Fume exhaust arms are offered in a range of types, lengths, and sizes to suit the reach, positioning, and air flow requirements. It is imperative that the range of reach for the arms is understood so that the correct size is selected. For small welding enclosures, a suspended hose and magnetic base receptor may work better than an arm.
