TE-1008-1 Hold Down Frame, 4 Inch Diameter for PUF Dual Sampling Module SKU: TE-1008-1

The TE-1008-1 hold down frame is a critical component of the dual sampling module filter holder assembly used in Tisch Environmental PUF (polyurethane foam) high volume air samplers. This 4-inch diameter frame secures the particulate filter media within the upper chamber of the dual sampling module, ensuring proper sealing and positioning during ambient air monitoring operations.

Function and Operation

The hold down frame works in conjunction with gaskets to provide a leak-proof seal during the sampling process, maintaining sampling integrity throughout collection periods. The frame supports collection of airborne particulates as part of systems designed to meet requirements for EPA method TO-4A, TO-9A, and TO-13A sampling protocols.

Compatibility

The TE-1008-1 is specifically designed for use with the TE-1008 complete filter holder assembly in PUF dual sampling module configurations. This frame is compatible with:

• PUF high volume air samplers that collect airborne particulate and vapor contaminants
• Systems used to collect volatile organic compounds and airborne pesticides
• Samplers operating in accordance with U.S. EPA Method TO-4 for organochlorine pesticides and PCBs

System Integration

As part of the dual chambered aluminum sampling module, the hold down frame ensures the upper chamber properly supports the airborne particulate filter media, while the dual chambered design allows easy access to both upper and lower media during maintenance and sample exchange. The frame functions within systems operating between 125-250 lpm flow rates for regulatory compliance monitoring.
