The TE-KFT-30 is a specialized PTFE filter tape engineered for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry applications in ambient air quality monitoring systems. This 30-meter continuous roll provides 45 days of uninterrupted operation for automated environmental monitoring stations measuring metallic and organic contaminants in air streams.
Performance Specifications
The PTFE membrane delivers 99.7% retention efficiency for 0.3 µm particles with extremely low metal content, ensuring minimal interference with XRF analytical results. The uniform porous structure provides efficient particle retention compatible with TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 monitoring protocols.
- Particle retention: 99.7% at 0.3 µm
- Length: 30 meters (45 days continuous operation)
- Ultra-low metal content for XRF compatibility
- Hydrophobic PTFE membrane construction
- High pliability for automated tape advance systems
Compatibility and Applications
Available in Type I and Type II configurations for air monitoring stations and XRF monitoring equipment respectively. The TE-KFT-30 is designed for continuous environmental surveillance applications including:
- Metallic monitoring with XRF spectroscopy
- Air quality monitoring stations
- Emission source studies and compliance monitoring
- Environmental compliance and regulatory air quality assessment
Technical Advantages
Contaminants are captured in the tape's porous membrane structure in preparation for element analysis. The excellent chemical stability resists most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, while the PTFE membrane with no depth filter material support produces a low noise-to-monitoring ratio.
The 45-day operational period reduces maintenance frequency and ensures consistent data collection for regulatory compliance monitoring. Efficient airflow capability maintains sampling integrity throughout the extended deployment period.
