TE-3000 Filter Media Cartridge for 8" x 10" Hi-Vol Air Sampling Filters SKU: TE-3000

The TE-3000 filter media cartridge holds 8" x 10" filter paper for high volume air samplers designed for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring. This essential component securely positions and seals filter media during TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 particulate sampling operations.

Technical Design

The TE-3000 cartridge provides precise filter positioning and uniform air distribution across the entire 8" x 10" filter surface. The design ensures that particulates are collected evenly on the filter paper during the 24-hour sampling period at flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min. The cartridge assembly maintains proper sealing to prevent sample bypass and ensures accurate particulate collection for gravimetric analysis.

Key Specifications

• Filter size: 8" x 10" (203 x 254 mm)
• Compatible with all standard high volume filter media types
• Precision-machined sealing surfaces for leak-free operation
• Corrosion-resistant construction for outdoor ambient monitoring

Compatibility

The TE-3000 cartridge is designed for use with Tisch Environmental high volume air samplers including TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 systems. The cartridge integrates with stainless steel filter holders for use with standard 8" x 10" filter paper. Compatible with the complete range of 8" x 10" filter media including quartz microfiber, glass fiber (EPM2000), and cellulose filters.

This cartridge works with Tisch Environmental TE-3000-2 aluminum hold-down frame for secure filter retention during sampling operations.

Installation and Maintenance

The cartridge design allows for quick filter changes between sampling periods while maintaining proper alignment and sealing. Regular inspection of sealing surfaces ensures continued sampling accuracy. Filters are weighed before and after sampling to determine the mass of collected particulates, making proper cartridge sealing critical for EPA reference method compliance.

Applications

Essential for EPA reference method ambient air quality monitoring programs including:

• TSP monitoring per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B
• PM10 monitoring per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J
• PM2.5 monitoring per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L
• Industrial source monitoring and compliance testing
• Research and academic air quality studies
