The TE-PM10PLUSBL is a high volume air sampler configured for PM10 particulate sampling, operating at flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min during 24-hour sampling periods. This advanced system combines Tisch Environmental's proven PM10 size-selective inlet technology with a microprocessor-based PLUS controller that includes built-in ambient temperature and barometric pressure sensors for accurate, real-time flow control.
PLUS Controller Technology
The PLUS technology flow controller includes a built-in digital timer with internal battery backup, multiple elapsed time indicators, and four data logs with USB export for data retrieval. The system data logs record the average, minimum, and maximum ambient temperature and barometric pressure as well as the total ambient and standard flow rate. These PLUS technology flow controllers also include an auto calibration feature which eliminates the need for lengthy field calibration and manual flow rate calculations.
Brushless Motor Design
Features a brushless motor assembly that reduces routine maintenance requirements and supports extended service life in continuous field operations. The brushless design eliminates brush replacement intervals while maintaining consistent performance throughout the motor's operational life.
Key Specifications
- Flow Rate: 36-60 ft³/min (1.02-1.70 m³/min)
- Power: 110V, 60Hz AC
- Filter Media: 8″ × 10″ quartz filter paper
- Motor Type: Brushless
- Controller: MFC PLUS with microprocessor-based flow control
- Timer: Digital with battery backup
EPA Compliance
Designed to meet the guidelines outlined in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, the EPA reference method for PM10 determination in ambient air. This method provides for the measurement of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in ambient air over a 24-hour period for determining attainment of national ambient air quality standards.
System Components
Complete sampler includes motor assembly, digital timer, PLUS flow controller, elapsed time indicator, anodized aluminum outdoor shelter, and pressure recorder. The PM10 size-selective inlet captures larger particulates while allowing PM10 particulates to continue through and collect on the filter media.
Applications
Ideal for ambient air quality monitoring networks, regulatory compliance monitoring, environmental impact assessments, and research applications requiring EPA-compliant PM10 data collection. The integrated data logging and USB export capabilities support quality assurance protocols and streamlined data management for regulatory reporting.
