The TE-6070X is a high volume air sampler engineered for EPA-compliant 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J PM10 particulate monitoring. This sampler measures particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 µm over 24-hour sampling periods, providing the data required for determining attainment and maintenance of national ambient air quality standards.
Technical Design
The system uses a size-selective PM10 inlet that inertially separates suspended particulate matter into the PM10 size range at constant flow rate. Mass flow control (MFC) maintains precise flow regulation by continuously adjusting motor speed based on real-time flow feedback, ensuring stable sampling conditions throughout the collection period. The flow rate must be maintained within the manufacturer-specified design range, with mass concentrations computed using flow rates corrected to EPA reference conditions.
Key Configuration
- Flow Control: MFC (Mass Flow Control) system for precision flow regulation
- Timer: Mechanical timer provides simple, reliable start/stop control without electronic complexity
- Motor: Brushed motor assembly delivers proven field performance widely used in high-volume sampling applications
- Power: 220V, 50Hz configuration for international applications
- Housing: Anodized aluminum shelter protects core components in field environments
Compliance and Applications
This sampler configuration supports routine ambient air quality monitoring for regulatory compliance, environmental assessment, and research applications. The PM10 sampler must be maintained in strict accordance with manufacturer maintenance procedures to ensure continued EPA compliance and measurement accuracy.
Alternative Configurations
The TE-6070 series offers multiple configurations with different timer, motor, power, and flow control options to match specific monitoring requirements and site conditions. Choose the mechanical timer version when simple, dependable operation without digital complexity is preferred for field deployment.
