TE-5040PP Calibration Kit for PUF PLUS sVOC Hi-Vol Air Samplers SKU: TE-5040-PP

The TE-5040PP calibration kit is specifically designed for use with PUF PLUS semi-volatile organic compound (sVOC) high volume air samplers. This essential field calibration equipment ensures accurate flow rate measurements required for EPA-compliant ambient air sampling programs targeting PAHs, pesticides, and other semi-volatile organics according to EPA TO-13A methodology.

Complete Calibration Package

The kit includes a calibration orifice, tubing, carrying case, and calibration certificate — everything needed for field flow rate verification and sampler calibration. The precision-engineered calibration orifice provides a known pressure drop that allows calculation of actual volumetric flow rates under ambient conditions.

Compatibility

This calibration kit is engineered specifically for Tisch Environmental's PUF PLUS sVOC high volume air samplers. PUF samplers collect semi-volatile organic compounds such as PAHs, phthalates, and diesel range organics at flow rates up to 280 liters per minute, with sampling efficiency considerations for lighter compounds like naphthalene requiring XAD-2 sorbent enhancement. The TE-5040PP kit supports accurate calibration of these specialized sampling systems.

Calibration Requirements and Certification

High volume calibrators are required for accurate flow rate calibration on all high volume TSP, PM10, PUF, and PM2.5 samplers. The TE-5040PP requires annual re-certification to maintain traceability to NIST standards and ensure measurement accuracy. Tisch Environmental provides recertification services to maintain calibration validity.

Field Applications

The TE-5040PP supports EPA-regulated monitoring programs for ambient air toxics, including PAH monitoring per EPA TO-13A methodology. The EPA Compendium contains peer-reviewed, standardized methods for determining volatile, semi-volatile, and selected toxic organic pollutants in air, assisting regulatory personnel in maintaining up-to-date monitoring technology for characterizing organic pollutants. Accurate flow calibration is essential for defensible data collection in these critical monitoring applications.

Professional Use Requirements

This calibration kit is designed for use by qualified environmental monitoring professionals familiar with high volume sampling equipment operation and maintenance. High volume samplers require specialized experience to calibrate properly. The included calibration certificate provides documentation of traceability required for regulatory compliance programs.
