Question 1

What is YEK-ACIDCAB90 acid-base safety cabinet and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

YEK-ACIDCAB90 is a 90-liter safety cabinet specially designed for the safe storage of corrosive chemicals (acids and bases) in laboratories. It stores strong acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide in separate compartments. Used in chemistry, biology, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial quality control laboratories. Provides storage compliant with occupational safety regulations and OSHA standards.

Question 2

What are the technical specifications and safety systems of the acid-base safety cabinet?

Accepted Answer

YEK-ACIDCAB90 is manufactured in dimensions of 900x600x1800 mm, with cold-rolled steel body coated with acid-base resistant epoxy. Four adjustable PP (polypropylene) shelves show full resistance to chemical spills. 20-liter spill containment sump contains possible spills. Auto-closing double-door system, 3-point security lock, safety glass viewing window, and 30-minute fire resistance. Activated carbon filtered ventilation system filters chemical vapors.

Question 3

Why should acid and base chemicals be stored separately?

Accepted Answer

Acids and bases can react violently with each other chemically, releasing heat, gas, and hazardous vapors. YEK-ACIDCAB90 guarantees acid-base separation with dual color-coded (yellow-blue) warning system and internal partition. Left compartment (yellow-labeled) is for acids, right compartment (blue-labeled) is for bases. This separation complies with laboratory safety procedures and NFPA 45 (Fire Protection Standard for Laboratories). Improper storage can lead to accidents and personnel injuries.

Question 4

How does the safety cabinet ventilation system work?

Accepted Answer

YEK-ACIDCAB90 is equipped with an activated carbon filtered passive ventilation system. Chemical vapors are directed to the filter through dual-directional air flow from ventilation channels at the top of the cabinet. Activated carbon filter effectively adsorbs acidic and basic vapors. 75 mm external aspiration port allows connection to central ventilation system. External ventilation is recommended in environments with high vapor concentration. Filter should be replaced every 6-12 months or according to chemical usage intensity.

Question 5

Which standards and regulations does the acid-base safety cabinet comply with?

Accepted Answer

YEK-ACIDCAB90 is manufactured in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 (Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids), NFPA 30 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code), EN 14470-1 (Fire Resistance Storage Cabinets), and FM Global standards. 30-minute fire resistance certificate delays explosion or spillage of chemicals in case of fire. CE marking indicates compliance with European safety directives. Documentation required for laboratory accreditation (ISO/IEC 17025) and GLP/GMP compliance is provided.

Question 6

How is the safety cabinet installed and maintained?

Accepted Answer

YEK-ACIDCAB90 installation should be done on flat, load-bearing floor, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. After assembly, check that doors function properly, auto-closing mechanism is active, and locking system works smoothly. Maintenance: monthly lubrication of door hinges and lock, quarterly inspection of spill sump, semi-annual evaluation of activated carbon filter, and epoxy coating damage control. Regular interior cleaning and readability of chemical labels are important.

Question 7

What chemicals can be stored in the acid-base cabinet and what is the storage capacity?

Accepted Answer

YEK-ACIDCAB90 safely stores 4-6 bottles of 2.5-liter sized chemicals with its total capacity of 90 liters. Storable acids: H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid 96-98%), HCl (hydrochloric acid 37%), HNO₃ (nitric acid 65-70%), CH₃COOH (acetic acid), H₃PO₄ (phosphoric acid). Storable bases: NaOH (sodium hydroxide), KOH (potassium hydroxide), NH₄OH (ammonia solution). Flammable organic solvents (acetone, ethanol, diethyl ether) should NOT be stored in this cabinet, but in flammable material cabinets. It is recommended that each chemical be kept in original labeled, leak-proof cap, and within secondary containment vessel.
