Pressure Tap w/ Nut for PUF Housing SKU: TE-1004-15

The TE-1004-15 pressure tap with nut is a critical component designed for use with Tisch Environmental's Polyurethane Foam (PUF) air samplers. This precision-engineered fitting connects to the venturi orifice system to enable differential pressure measurement across the sampling system's flow path.

Function

The pressure tap provides a barbed connection point for tubing that records differential pressure as air passes through the venturi orifice. This pressure measurement is essential for flow rate calculations and connects either to a magnehelic gauge or to flow controllers equipped with PLUS technology.

Compatibility

This pressure tap is specifically designed for use with Tisch Environmental PUF air sampler housings and venturi assemblies. PUF samplers operate as high volume air samplers collecting airborne volatile organic compounds and particulate matter at flow rates between 125-250 lpm.

Compatible with PUF sampler configurations including:

• Manual motor speed controlled PUF samplers
• PUF PLUS systems with microprocessor-based flow controllers
• Both brush-style and brushless motor assemblies

Installation Notes

The pressure tap must be properly sealed with the included nut to prevent air leaks that would affect flow measurement accuracy. Accurate pressure measurement through the venturi is essential for proper flow rate calculations in PUF samplers. When connected to tubing, ensure secure connections to maintain system integrity during sampling operations.

Applications

PUF samplers equipped with these pressure measurement systems collect airborne particulate and vapor contaminants, typically for volatile organic compounds and pesticide monitoring in compliance with EPA methods TO-4A, TO-9A, and TO-13A.
