TSP Hi-Vol Air Sampler - MFC, Digital Timer, Brush Motor, 220V 60Hz SKU: TE-5170DXZ

The TE-5170DXZ delivers EPA-compliant Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) sampling according to 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B reference method requirements. This complete high-volume air sampler captures particles with aerodynamic diameters of approximately 100 µm or less for ambient air quality monitoring and environmental compliance programs.

The integrated Mass Flow Controller (MFC) maintains precise sampling flow rates by continuously monitoring actual flow conditions and automatically adjusting motor speed as filter loading increases. The high-volume samples 40-60 cubic feet per minute (ft³/min) of air with the sampling rate held constant over the sampling period, ensuring consistent collection efficiency throughout the 24-hour sampling cycle.

Key Specifications

• Flow control: MFC (Mass Flow Controller) with hot wire anemometer
• Motor: Brushed motor assembly with proven field reliability
• Timer: Digital programmable timer for precise sampling periods
• Power: 220V, 60Hz configuration
• Housing: Anodized aluminum outdoor shelter with gabled roof design
• Sampling period: 1,440 ±60 minutes (24 hours nominal) for valid samples

System Configuration

This configuration includes a digital timer that provides straightforward programming capabilities and ensures repeatable sampling periods for regulatory compliance. The brushed motor delivers reliable performance in field conditions, while the MFC system automatically compensates for filter loading to maintain constant volumetric flow rates.

The anodized aluminum shelter protects internal components from environmental conditions while allowing particulate matter to be drawn onto the filter from all four sides as specified in the EPA reference method.

Compatible Components

This sampler uses standard 8" × 10" glass fiber filters for TSP collection. The system accommodates various filter types suitable for gravimetric analysis and subsequent chemical speciation of collected particulate matter.

Applications

This method provides a measurement of the mass concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in ambient air for determining compliance with national ambient air quality standards. Applications include:

• Ambient air quality monitoring networks
• Environmental compliance monitoring
• Source impact assessment
• Research and atmospheric studies
• Lead monitoring in TSP for NAAQS compliance

The 220V 60Hz power configuration makes this system suitable for international installations and locations with 220V electrical service.
