The TE-1002-3 Module Body is a critical replacement component for TE-1002 dual sampling modules used in polyurethane foam (PUF) air sampling systems. This precision-machined aluminum housing forms the structural foundation of the dual-chamber sampling module, designed to simultaneously collect airborne particulates and vapor-phase contaminants.
Dual-Chamber Design
The module body creates two distinct sampling chambers within a single housing. The upper chamber supports a circular filter holder for particulate collection on filter media, while the lower chamber houses a threaded glass cartridge containing polyurethane foam for vapor entrapment. This dual-phase collection capability enables comprehensive sampling of both particulate and volatile organic compounds in ambient air.
Compatibility
This module body is specifically designed for use with the TE-1002 dual sampling module system. Compatible with:
- TE-1002 Dual Sampling Module complete assemblies
- TE-1002-2 Module Reducer components
- Standard PUF glass cartridges and filter holders
- Tisch Environmental PUF high volume air samplers
Applications
Essential for EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring programs targeting volatile organic compounds and airborne pesticides. The dual sampling capability supports EPA TO-4A, TO-9A, and TO-13A sampling protocols for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and semi-volatile organic compounds. Commonly deployed for pesticide monitoring, industrial emission assessment, and environmental compliance sampling.
Construction Features
Manufactured from durable anodized aluminum with precision-machined threads for secure glass cartridge retention. All sealing surfaces include gasket grooves to ensure leak-proof operation during sampling. The threaded lower section allows for quick cartridge exchange without disturbing the upper particulate collection chamber, minimizing sample handling and contamination risk.
