Thumbnail Filmstrip of Filter Holder Gasket for TSP Hi-Vol Air Samplers Images
The TE-5005-9 filter holder gasket provides the critical seal between filter holders and blower motor assemblies in Tisch Environmental's Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) high volume air sampling systems. This precision-engineered gasket ensures airtight operation essential for accurate particulate collection and EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring.
Technical Function
The TE-5005-9 gasket creates an airtight seal at the connection point between the filter holder and blower motor housing. Proper gasket sealing prevents air leakage that would compromise flow measurement accuracy and particulate collection efficiency. During sampling operations, this gasket maintains the negative pressure differential required to draw ambient air through the filter media at the calibrated flow rate.
Compatibility
This gasket is compatible with multiple Tisch Environmental TSP sampler configurations:
- TE-5003 non-flow controlled filter holders
- TE-5004 mass flow controlled (MFC) filter holders
- TE-5003V volumetric flow controlled (VFC) filter holders
- TE-5004PNY PUF sampling filter holders
- TE-5005 brush-type blower motor assemblies
- TE-5005BL brushless blower motor assemblies
- TE-5070 VFC blower motor assemblies
Installation and Maintenance
The gasket must be properly positioned between the filter holder and blower motor before tightening the threaded connection. Tisch Environmental recommends inspecting the filter holder frame gasket each sample period to ensure an airtight seal. Replace the gasket if compression set, cracking, or other damage is observed that could compromise the seal integrity.
Proper gasket maintenance is essential for EPA Method compliance in TSP monitoring applications. Air leaks from damaged gaskets can affect flow measurements and particulate collection accuracy, potentially invalidating sampling data for regulatory reporting.
Applications
The TE-5005-9 gasket supports EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring for:
- Ambient air monitoring to determine suspended particulate levels relative to air quality standards
- Lead sampling and heavy metal particle capture
- Industrial source emission monitoring
- Environmental compliance monitoring
