The TE-3000-1 aluminum snap cover provides secure protection for filter paper in Tisch Environmental high volume air sampler filter holders. This precision-manufactured cover ensures proper sealing and protection of 8" x 10" filter media during TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 particulate sampling operations.
Technical Overview
The snap cover design provides quick, tool-free installation and removal while maintaining the tight seal required for accurate volumetric measurements. The anodized aluminum construction offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh outdoor sampling environments. The cover's precision fit prevents air leakage that could compromise sampling accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Compatibility
This snap cover is compatible with Tisch Environmental filter holders used in high volume air sampling systems, including:
- TSP (Total Suspended Particulate) samplers per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B
- PM10 federal reference method samplers per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J
- PM2.5 ambient air monitoring systems per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L
- Filter paper cartridge assemblies for 8" x 10" filter media
Installation and Maintenance
The snap cover installs quickly over the filter paper cartridge without requiring tools or fasteners. The cover works with standard 8" x 10" filter paper used in high volume air samplers. Regular inspection of the cover's sealing surface ensures continued sampling accuracy. Replace if the snap mechanism becomes loose or if the sealing edge shows wear that could affect the air-tight seal.
Applications
This component supports ambient air monitoring to determine suspended particulate levels relative to air quality standards and impact assessment of specific sources on ambient particulate levels. The aluminum snap cover is essential for maintaining EPA-compliant sampling procedures in environmental monitoring networks, industrial hygiene assessments, and research applications requiring precise particulate measurements.
