The TE-PM2_5-HVP is a high volume air sampler designed for collecting fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm in ambient air. Engineered for non-regulatory monitoring, institutional research, and EPA-compliant environmental assessments where precise PM2.5 mass concentration data is required.
Advanced PLUS Controller Technology
Features a microprocessor-based MFC PLUS controller with integrated ambient temperature and barometric pressure sensors for real-time volumetric flow control. The system measures actual ambient temperature and pressure to calculate the total volume of air sampled, expressing mass concentration in micrograms per cubic meter. Built-in auto calibration maintains sampling accuracy throughout extended monitoring periods.
Key Specifications
- Power Configuration: 110V, 60Hz single-phase
- Motor Type: Brush-style blower motor assembly
- Flow Controller: MFC PLUS with temperature/pressure compensation
- Timer: Digital programmable timer with battery backup
- PM2.5 Size-Selective Inlet: Collects particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 micrometers per EPA reference methods
Data Logging and Control Features
The PLUS controller includes comprehensive data logging with four independent logs capturing average, minimum, and maximum ambient temperature, barometric pressure, total ambient flow, and standard flow. Digital timer provides programmable sampling periods with multiple elapsed time indicators. USB export capability enables convenient data retrieval for analysis and reporting.
Applications
Ideal for ambient air quality monitoring in compliance with 40 CFR Part 58 PM2.5 monitoring network requirements. Suitable for environmental research, source assessment studies, baseline air quality characterization, and long-term monitoring programs where PM2.5 concentrations relative to the 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter primary annual standard must be evaluated.
Compatible with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L reference method requirements for PM2.5 determination. The proven brush motor design delivers reliable performance in field monitoring applications while the PLUS controller ensures consistent flow control and comprehensive documentation of sampling conditions.
