TSP Hi-Vol Air Sampler, MFC, Mechanical Timer, Brush Motor, 220V 50Hz

The TE-5170X is a complete high volume air sampler designed for collecting Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) matter in compliance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. This method provides a measurement of the mass concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in ambient air for determining compliance with the primary and secondary national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter.

Mass Flow Control System

The integrated Mass Flow Controller (MFC) maintains constant volumetric flow rate by automatically adjusting motor speed based on real-time flow feedback. Greater air volume measurement accuracy may be achieved by equipping the sampler with a flow controlling mechanism that maintains constant air flow during the sampling period. This active flow control compensates for filter loading and environmental conditions throughout the 24-hour sampling period.

Key Specifications

Power: 220V, 50Hz configuration for international applications
Motor Type: Brushed motor assembly with proven field reliability
Timer: Mechanical timer for simple start/stop control
Flow Control: MFC (Mass Flow Controller) technology
Sampling Rate: Maintains EPA-specified flow rate requirements

Compatibility and Applications

This sampler configuration is designed for ambient air monitoring stations requiring TSP data collection. This method uses a high-volume sampler to collect particles with aerodynamic diameters of approximately 100 µm or less. The TE-5170X accepts standard 8″ × 10″ glass fiber filters and operates within the EPA-mandated flow rate range for TSP reference method compliance.

Available in multiple configurations within the TE-5170 series with different timer options (mechanical/digital), motor types (brush/brushless), power specifications (110V 60Hz, 220V 50Hz, 220V 60Hz), and controller types (MFC, VFC, VFC PLUS) to meet specific monitoring requirements.

Maintenance Notes

The brushed motor design requires periodic brush replacement as part of routine maintenance. The mechanical timer provides dependable operation with minimal electronic complexity, suitable for remote monitoring locations. Regular flow rate verification and calibration ensure continued compliance with EPA reference method requirements.
