The TE-1002-2 Module Reducer is a precision-machined replacement component for the TE-1002 Dual Sampling Module system, designed for particulate and vapor phase sampling in high volume air monitoring applications. This reducer serves as a critical flow transition component that maintains proper aerodynamic conditions within the dual sampling module assembly.
Function and Design
The module reducer creates a controlled flow transition between different diameter sections of the sampling path, ensuring laminar airflow characteristics essential for accurate collection of both particulate matter and semi-volatile organic compounds. The precision-engineered internal geometry minimizes turbulence and particle losses during the sampling process.
Compatibility
This reducer is specifically designed for use with:
- TE-1002 Dual Sampling Module assemblies
- TE-1002-3 Module Body components
- PUF sampling systems for pesticide and semi-volatile monitoring
- High volume air samplers configured for dual-phase collection
Applications
The TE-1002-2 supports sampling programs targeting persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in ambient air, including:
- Pesticide monitoring in agricultural and urban environments
- Semi-volatile organic compound assessment
- Industrial perimeter monitoring for vapor and particulate emissions
- Research studies requiring simultaneous particulate and vapor phase collection
Maintenance Notes
Inspect the reducer regularly for wear or damage that could affect flow characteristics. Clean with appropriate solvents between sampling campaigns to prevent cross-contamination. Replace if internal surfaces show signs of corrosion or if dimensional tolerances appear compromised during routine inspection.
