What Is Seismic Design for Laboratory Equipment?
Lab equipment (the Ch. 13's — the Ip 1.5's; the 1.0's) is designed for (the Fp — the amplified; the SDC's) via (the anchorage — the bolted; the vibration's — the isolated). The design: the Ip (the 1.5's — the hazardous; the 1.0's — the standard), the anchorage (the 4-bolt's — the minimum; the calculated), and the contents (the restrained — the chemicals'; the 13.5's). The lab's — the secured science.

The equipment's seismic
The Ip (the 1.5's — the hazardous'; the 1.0's — the standard's), the Fp (the 0.3SDSIpWp — the 13.3.1's; the min/max's), the anchorage (the calculated — the 4-bolt's; the concrete's — the 17's), and the SDS (the 2.5's — the cap's; the 0.3's — the floor's).
Special lab concerns
The chemicals (the restrained — the cabinets'; the 13.5's; the latched), the fume (the hoods' — the braced; the duct's — the 13.6's), the vibration (the isolated — the anchored's — the snubbed; the 1-inch's), the gas (the cylinders' — the chained; the 2's — the straps), and the biosafety (the cabinets' — the certified; the anchored).
Installation
The housekeeping (the pad's — the 4-inch's; the doweled), the flexible (the connections' — the 13.6's; the loops'), the commissioning (the shake's — the witnessed; the 13.2's), and the operations (the 24/7's — the research's; the protected). The lab's — the Ip's importance; the anchorage's — the calculated.
The bottom line
Design lab equipment per ASCE 7 Ch. 13 (Ip 1.5 for hazardous, Fp = 0.3SDS·Ip·Wp with caps, calculated 4-bolt minimum anchorage) — restrain chemical cabinets, chain gas cylinders, snub vibration isolators.
