The TE-5000X is a high volume air sampler configured for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) sampling in compliance with EPA reference method requirements outlined in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. This manual flow control configuration delivers reliable TSP collection for ambient air quality monitoring, environmental compliance programs, and atmospheric research applications.

Manual Flow Control Operation

Features manual motor speed adjustment with traditional analog instrumentation for straightforward operation. The system draws measured quantities of ambient air through an 8" x 10" glass fiber filter during 24-hour sampling periods, with total air volume corrected to EPA standard conditions (25°C, 760 mm Hg). The manual control allows operators to set and maintain flow rates within the required range through direct motor speed adjustment.

Key Specifications

Power: 220V, 50Hz configuration
Motor Type: Brush-style motor with proven field reliability
Timer: Digital timer with programmable sampling schedules
Flow Rate Range: 39-60 ft³/min (1.1-1.7 m³/min)
Filter Size: 8" x 10" glass fiber filters
Particle Collection: Particles up to 25-50 µm aerodynamic diameter

System Components

Housed in an anodized aluminum shelter designed for year-round outdoor operation. The shelter configuration allows uniform air intake from all sides while protecting internal components from weather exposure. Includes digital timer for accurate sampling period control, analog instrumentation for flow monitoring, and mounting provisions for pressure recording equipment.

TSP Sampling Applications

Used for determining compliance with national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter and environmental monitoring programs where total suspended particulate measurement is required. The measurement process is nondestructive, and collected samples provide adequate material for subsequent chemical analysis including metals analysis and source characterization studies.

Compatibility & Configuration Options

The TE-5000X represents the 220V/50Hz international power configuration with digital timer and brush motor. Alternative configurations in the TE-5000 series include 110V/60Hz versions (TE-5000, TE-5000D), brushless motor options (TE-5000BL, TE-5000BLX), and 220V/60Hz models (TE-5000XZ) to accommodate different power systems and operational requirements.
