Does anyone have information on air flow monitors that may be approved for
(or not approved) use in perchloric acid hoods?

There is no
 specific OSHA requirement for fume hood monitors. =A0The applicable refere
nce is the OSHA Laboratory Standard, which requires the chemical hygiene pl
an to include: 

=A0 
1910.1450(e)(3)(iii) 
A requirement that fume hoods and other protective e
quipment are functioning properly and specific measures that shall be taken
 to ensure proper and adequate performance of such equipment. 
=A0 
While newer laboratory hoods generally include a built-in flow moni
toring device, older hoods are commonly tested periodically using a portabl
e flow monitoring device such as a vaneometer. =A0 Testing frequency should
 be addressed in your chemical hygiene plan; many facilities perform such t
esting quarterly or at least semi-annually. =A0Additional local codes or in
surance requirements may make more frequent testing necessary.
