Thumbnail Filmstrip of 3" Filter Holder Hardware Kit - Brass Bolt, Rivet, Washer & Plastic Nut Set Images
The TE-5003-9 is a complete hardware replacement kit for the TE-5003 3" filter holder used in non-flow controlled Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) high volume air samplers. This essential maintenance kit ensures proper filter holder assembly and secure clamping of 8" x 10" glass fiber filters during ambient air monitoring operations.
Hardware Components
Each kit includes all necessary fasteners to maintain proper filter holder function:
- Brass bolt for corrosion-resistant clamping force
- Rivet for structural attachment
- Washer for even load distribution
- Plastic nut for secure closure
Compatibility
This hardware kit is specifically designed for the TE-5003 filter holder used in TSP high volume air sampling systems. The TE-5003 filter holder is a core component of manual flow controlled TSP samplers that collect total suspended particulates by pulling ambient air through 8" x 10" glass fiber filters at flow rates between 39-60 CFM.
Compatible sampler systems include:
- TE-5000 TSP High Volume Air Sampler with TE-5003 filter holder
- Manual flow controlled TSP sampling systems
- Non-flow controlled TSP ambient air monitoring equipment
Maintenance Notes
Regular inspection and replacement of filter holder hardware is critical for maintaining proper seal integrity and preventing air leaks that compromise sampling accuracy. During system operation, listen for high-pitched squealing sounds from escaping air, which indicate a leak is present and hold-down hardware needs attention.
Replace hardware components when threads show wear, brass shows corrosion, or plastic components become brittle. Proper torque on fasteners ensures adequate filter compression while preventing damage to glass fiber media.
Applications
TSP high volume air samplers are commonly used in air quality monitoring to determine the concentration of total suspended particulates in ambient air, operating at constant flow rates over set sampling periods to collect particulates on filter media. This hardware supports EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring for regulatory compliance and environmental assessment programs.
