Powder Coating Metal – Genie Scientific

What is Powder Coating?

Genie Scientific takes pride in manufacturing custom fume hoods.  Whether it is utilizing their standard size models or creating custom fume hoods, Genie Scientific has you covered from conception to creation.  A major detail that Genie Scientific never passes on when creating fume hoods is the powder coating metal.  This application utilizes a modern day technique that is non-solvent based.  This helps make this process more environmentally friendly.  Powder Coated metal fume hoods and casework last decades and are completely recyclable. 

Powder Coating is dry powder that is applied onto metal to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.  This powder can be thermoplastic or thermoset polymer.  Thermoplastic is a plastic polymer that, when heated, becomes soft and then hard when it is cooled.  This material is great as it can be cooled and heated several times without changing the mechanical properties or change in chemistry composition.  Thermoset polymer is a resin that is irreversibly hardened by curing with heat or suitable radiation.  Powder coating is mainly used for metals and is a staple for Genie Scientific.  

Why Powder Coating? 

Powder Coating is environmentally friendly and that powder coating does not need a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form.  This allows for higher quality and longer lasting durability. 

Powder Coating has major advantages which include also the following :  emit zero to near zero volatile organic compounds; produces thicker coatings without running or sagging; recycle friendly; aesthetically no difference between liquid coated items; creates a safer work environment by creating less hazardous waste;  wide selection of colors to choose from.  

Genie Scientific provides powder coating for all their hume hoods.  This includes their benchtop fume hood, walk-in fume hood, and custom food hoods.  Powder coating is a feature that all laboratories should look into when building their facilities.

Fume Hood Piping

Service fixtures, Pre-Plumbed, Pre-Piped, Factory Plumbed, Factory Piped but what does it all mean?

This article is going to explain fume hood piping. Upon reading, you will now the different parts of a service fixture, how they are piped and most importantly why.  

Genie can equip fume hoods with a variety of services. Services referred to plumbing and electrical components like, electrical outlets, sinks, plumbing fixtures for gas, vacuum, air and water.

This article is going to talk about plumbing service fixtures for lab gases and water.

First off, what is a fume hood plumbing service fixture?

Simply stated: It is a plumbing fixture assembly made up of (4) components. 

  • Control Handle
  • Valve
  • Outlet Fitting
  • Supply Piping

Control Handle

The control handle allows the user to safely turn the valve on and off from the outside of the hood.  They have a color-coded index button on the front of the handle to allow users to identify the correct service.

The handle is connected via control-rod through the front post of the fume hood into the fume hood side wall where it connects to the valve.  

Turning the control handle open and closed the valve. 

Valve

Factory installed in the fume hood side wall is the valve. 

The most common valve type is a brass needle-valve.  Valves can be made from stainless steel, tin lined brass or polypropylene.   There are also fine control needle valves and ball valves for ADA application, along with many different options

Valves have an inlet and an outlet.  The outlet is connected to an “outlet fitting” that is factory mounted to the interior side wall of the hood. The valve is accessible by removing the fume hood exterior side panel or the interior service access panel. Genie hoods come standard with an extra-large and easily removable interior service panel for easy access. Attached with (4) capped screws there are no frustrating gaskets to deal with. 

Outlet Fitting

The outlet fitting is the point of use connection inside the hood. 

Standard finish is powder coated brass, they also come in stainless steel, nylon, and polypropylene.

Outlet fittings come in a variety of styles.  Standard for gases is a 45-degree fitting with a serrated hose end.  A standard water fitting looks like a faucet and has a vacuum breaker. (Note: If you have a water fixture inside your hood most jurisdictions will require a cup sink to allow for drainage.) The outlet is fed when the valve is opened. The valve is fed from its inlet connected to the supply piping. 

Supply Piping 

This is where the term pre-plumbed/factory piped etc. comes into play.

In the factory Genie will connect piping to the valve inlet and run it to the top (or bottom) of the fume hood, standard is 4” above the hood. This is where the term pre-plumbed/piped comes from.  

Why do we do this?

  1. It saves time and money.  Plumber only need to make the final connection from the building supply to the piping above (or below) the fume hood. The added cost of a plumber needing to open the sides of all the fume hood and pipe each valve is very expensive.  Some fume hoods can have as many as (10) service fixtures.  Genie believes in Lean manufacturing and construction principles; we always want to maximize factory time and minimize field time.  We go above and beyond our competitors and install a strip on heavy duty Unistrut that support or factory pipes with cushion clamps.
  2. Factory Tested.  Genie fume hoods ship from the factory as a complete UL 1805 Listed unit.  Anything that is factory piped is tested to ensure there are no leaks.
  3. Limits Trade Damage.  Fume hoods are finished product. Most trades are hesitant to touch other trades work especial a fume hood that requires the removing of finished panels to access the valves.  Factory piping helps eliminates this issue. 
Dual vs. Single Point Connection Example: Picture a fume hood that has a Vacuum Fixture on the left and right post. There are two options.
  1. Dual Point Connection
    • Each fixture will be piped up above the hood and the plumber will need to make a connection from the building supply lines on the left and right side. From the factory this is a less expensive options and standard.

  2. Single Point Connection 
    • Single point connection is a more expensive option from the factory but can save time and money in the field. Genie will factory plumb the fixtures on the left and right to a single “T” fitting (customer to specific left or right side) so the plumber only needs to make one connection to supply both fixtures. (See Figure X)
    • Something to think about: Ensure the fume hood can fit into the room fully assembled or Genie will need to install union fittings so the piping assembly can be taken apart. A perfect example would be a walk-in style fume hood that is assembled in place. The unit would be fully assembled in the factory and tested.  However, it needs to be broken down for shipment then reconnected in the field. 

Piping Material 

Different services require different piping materials. The information below is Genie standard materials and methods. Different states, jurisdictions, and projects may require different means and methods. Please consult with your design professional and engineer of record to specify the correct materials.

The list below is ranked from least expensive to most expensive.

Water, Vacuum, Insert Gases

Standard: Type “L” ½” Hard Copper Tubing with Viega ProPress (Brass & Copper) Fitting Connections.

  • This is this the least expensive option, ProPress is a fast an efficient way to plumb and wide accepted for use with many different services
  • The tubing is not “cleaned & capped”

Option 2: Type “L” ½” Hard Copper Tubing with 95/5 Lead Free Soldered Connections to copper fittings.

  • Soft solder is the old tried and true way to make connections but can be considered “dirty” for some application due to the use of solder flux. 
  • The tubing is not “cleaned & capped”

Option 3:  3/8” ACR Copper Tubing with Brass Compression Fittings.

  • Also known as refrigeration & air conditioning tubing, ACR tubing comes “cleaned & capped” to prevent moisture and dirt from contaminating the inside.  Material is more expensive than ½” hard copper tubing 
  • Tubing is connected to the valve and elbow with a brass compression fitting (brand names like Parker and Swagelok)

Option 4: Stainless steel

  • Stainless steel ½” tubing with stainless steel Viega ProPress Fittings
  • Stainless steel 3/8” tubing with stainless steel Swagelok compressions fittings 

Burning Gases

  • ½” Black Iron Pipe with Threaded Connections

Oxygen

  • Stainless steel ½” Tubing and stainless steel Viego ProPress Fittings
  • Stainless steel 3/8” tubing and stainless-steel compression fittings 

DI Water

  • As a standard DI Water cannot be factory piped
  • Under special request Genie can pipe with ½” stainless steel Viego ProPress tubing and fittings or 3/8” stainless steel tubing and stainless-steel compression fittings

Other

  • For unique or custom request, Genie can bring in a licensed 3rd party pipe fitter to the factory to plumb almost anything

 

Factory Testing

All valves come from the manufacturer tested to ensure quality. 

Genie tests all its piped assembles in the factory prior to shipment to ensure there are no leaks.

We look forward to working with you.

Eco-Saver Fume Hood and RetroFit Fume Hood – Genie Scientific

Genie Scientific is once again raising the bar in the scientific industry.  A staple in the industry, Genie Scientific is already known for their professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to what the client is looking for in design, durability, and custom fittings.  An aspect that is not overlooked in the building of GenieScientific products is safety.  In research and development, Genie Scientific is the first to bring an extra layer of safety while lowering overhead for the company.

Wynn O’neill is the Chief Financial Officer of Genie Scientific and was key in bringing this project to fruition.  There are a lot of moving parts in Genie Scientific and a key feature that is never lost during their 3 decades of business is the overall safety of the workers using Genie Scientific equipment.  Each fume hood meets and passes with high marks, the stringent standards and inspections by Underwriters Laboratories.  They also meet the standards by the American Society of Hearing, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE 110 Standards), which govern the testing of laboratory hoods for proper performance.  Keeping up with each protocol and procedure ensures top quality products.  Genie Scientific proudly raises the bar and continues to improve safety with their new Eco-Saver Fume Hood and Retro Fit Fume Hood.  Wynn O’neil explains how.

“We have two safety shields for 2 different operators.  And the important things about that, obviously, is having that additional safety when you’re working with chemicals, etc.  If you have an explosion etc. that would save your life,” said Wynn O’neill.  

The main feature of the Eco-Saver Fume Hood is the safety shields that create a barrier between the operator and the chemicals being manufactured.  This added safety feature creates a safer work environment which translates to an overall better working environment.  Studies have shown that a positive working environment creates for better work.  (Harvard Business Review*) Not only does this added safety shield create a safer work environment, it also helps reduce overhead. 

“The nice thing about this as well, is that it decreases the flow of air that comes in, which is a benefit to your cost savings on your electric bill,” says Wynn O’neill.  “ And when you get hundreds of hoods in one building, that is substantial.”

The benefits from these hoods are felt throughout each department of the business.  From the financial section to the working environment to the product that is being produced.  Genie Scientific has created a product that is at the top of its class.  And Genie Scientific did not stop there.  Genie Scientific goes above and beyond with their RetroFit Fume Hood.  This RetroFit Fume Hood is a custom hood that fits into any pre-existing fume hood.  The company does not need to own a Genie Scientific Eco Saver Fume Hood in order to receive the benefits created by this new product.

“In the Retro, you’ve got this bar and this bar that goes across and that is susceptible to anybody else’s hood […] It doesn’t matter.  We can retrofit your hood to meet that.  And that to me is the money shot.  People can save lives with these hoods,” explained Wynn O’neill.

The attention of customer needs while being forward thinking keep Genie Scientific at the forefront of innovation and the industry.  Genie Scientific continues to spread their knowledge and research with others to help educate and bring the community to even greater heights.  Genie Scientific is a trusted source that continues to improve their products as well as the rest of the industry.

Epoxy Resin Vs. Phenolic Resin Laboratory Countertops – Genie Scientific

Genie Scientific provides all the necessary fixtures and accessories to give you a fully functional lab space.  Genie Scientific works with two different types of materials when building custom laboratory countertops – Epoxy Resin and Phenolic Resin.  There are advantages and disadvantages to both and depending on what type of laboratory and its uses, each should be considered.  Garrett LeVan of Genie Scientific explains each one and will work with you in choosing the right one.

Epoxy Resin – Advantages & Disadvantages

Epoxy Resin is used in a variety of products such as adhesives, paints, primers, sealers and plastics.  Epoxy Resin is used widely in construction as it has strong bonding properties as well it is durable in heat, impact and chemicals.  Garrett LeVan provided further insight.

“It is made out of resins, hardeners and silica. It’s molded in sheets and cooked in an oven,” explains Garret LeVan.   “It’s resistant to a huge range of chemicals.  Probably its best aspect is it is resistant to high, high heat.  Even temperatures over 350 degrees fahrenheit.”

Epoxy Resin tends to be used in laboratories that deal with higher temperature materials.  Epoxy Resin tends to last a little bit longer than Phenolic Resin countertops, depending on use.

The main disadvantage to Epoxy Resin is it is only manufactured in 3 areas of the United States.  North Carolina, Arkansas and Texas. This leads to higher cost, longer lead time and when needing replacement parts and pieces, it can take a lot longer to fix.

Phenolic Resin – Advantages & Disadvantages

Phenolic Resin is also used in a variety of products but is most commonly used in circuit boards, billiard balls, and laboratory countertops.  Phenolic Resin also has strong bonding properties and is durable in heat, impact and chemicals.  The main difference is explained by Garrett LeVan.

“To really simplify it, it is craft paper mixed with glues and resins put under extreme pressure and heat to make a kind of layered material,” explains Garrett LeVan.  “Some things that I really like about it – we fabricate it here at Genie.  We also work with some local fabricators.  We buy it in sheets and cut it to size for your job.  This gives us greater flexibility.  If you want to make last minute changes, it is much easier than putting an order into an Epoxy Resin factory.”

There are a lot of similarities that Phenolic Resin has to Epoxy Resin.  The main disadvantage is that Phenolic Resin is not conducive to working with temperatures higher than 350 degrees fahrenheit. 

Which Is Better?

The question is more which is better for you.  There are a lot of similar properties between Epoxy Resin and Phenolic Resin for chemical resistance, abrasion and durability.  If you are going with really high heat – the choice is Epoxy Resin.  If you are looking for more flexibility, quicker lead times and better pricing – the choice is Phenolic Resin.
