The TE-6003 is a stainless steel, 8" x 10" filter holder specifically engineered for mass flow controlled (MFC) PM2.5 particulate samplers that use a hot wire anemometer probe to control the flow rate. This precision-manufactured component serves as the critical interface between your sampling system and filter media, ensuring secure filter retention and accurate particulate collection for EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring.
Design & Construction
Filter holders must be stainless steel (316 or equivalent) to meet regulatory requirements. The TE-6003 features robust stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability under varying environmental conditions. The filter holder includes a stagnation pressure tap to measure pressure drop across the filter paper, enabling continuous monitoring of filter loading and system performance.
Key Specifications
- Material: Stainless steel construction
- Filter size: 8" x 10" (203 x 254 mm)
- Pressure monitoring: Integrated stagnation pressure tap
- Flow compatibility: 36-44 CFM (1.02-1.24 m³/min) operating range
System Compatibility
The TE-6003 is designed for integration with Tisch Environmental's mass flow controlled PM10 and PM2.5 high volume air sampling systems. It works with MFC systems that use hot wire anemometer probes inserted into the flow stream to automatically adjust motor speed as the filter begins to collect particulate. Compatible with standard 8" x 10" filter media including quartz, glass fiber, and cellulose filters.
Important: This MFC version (TE-6003) is specifically designed for mass flow controlled systems. For volumetric flow controlled (VFC) systems using critical orifices, use the TE-6003V variant instead.
Applications
Engineered for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring programs requiring US EPA Reference Method Sampling, CFR Appendix J Part 50 compliance. Suitable for regulatory compliance monitoring, environmental impact studies, industrial fence-line monitoring, and research applications where precise PM10 and PM2.5 collection is critical.
