PM10 High Volume Air Sampler
A PM10 high volume air sampler is a federal reference method (FRM) instrument designed to collect
ambient particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10µm or less. This sampler uses a size
selective inlet to separate out the particulate matter that is larger than 10µm, ensuring that only
concentrations of PM10 are deposited onto the filter. These samplers typical operate with a flow
rate between 36-60 ft³/min during a 24 hour sampling period. Constructed of high quality
components and a robust anodized aluminium shelter, these instrument are well suited for all
ambient sampling installations. Tisch Environmental PM10 high volume air samplers are designed
according to the guidelines that are outlined in 40 CFR appendix J to part 50 and designated as a
federal reference method sampler under designation number 0202-141.
The PM10 high volume air sampler collects particulates at a flow rate between 36-60 ft³/min
through a PM10 size selective inlet. As the particulates travel through the size selective inlet, the
larger particulates are trapped inside of the inlet as the smaller PM10 particulates continue to travel
through the PM10 inlet and are collected on the 8″ x 10″ quartz filter paper. This quartz filter is
weighed previously to sampling and then after sampling to determine the mass of particulates that
are smaller than 10 microns. The flow rate on this instrument is controlled by either a mass flow
controller, a volumetric flow controller or the Tisch Environmental PLUS technology electronic flow
controller. Tisch Environmental offers a wide range of PM10 samplers with several different option
to fit every custom sampling installation.
Mass Flow Controlled
The PM10 PLUS system is the most advanced TSP ambient particulate sampler on the market. It
utilizes a microprocessor based controller for instantaneous and accurate flow control. The system’s
built in temperature and barometric pressure sensors along with the microprocessor based mass
flow controller, allow the system to accurately calculate the flow rate. The PLUS technology flow
controllers include a built in digital timer with internal battery backup, multiple elapsed time
indicators, and four data logs with an external USB drive for data retrieval. The system data logs
record the average, minimum, and maximum ambient temperature and barometric pressure as well
as the total ambient and standard flow rate. These PLUS technology flow controllers also include an
auto calibration feature which eliminates the need for lengthy field calibration and manual flow rate
calculations.
Volumetric Flow Controlled
Volumetric flow controlled (VFC) PM10 particulate samplers use a critical orifice with a
predetermined orifice hole diameter to control the flow rate. The critical orifice is drilled and
calibrated to let only the predetermined flow rate pass thorough the filter. The motor on these
systems operate wide open while the critical orifice maintains a constant flow rate. These systems
are available with a 7 day mechanical timer or a US EPA recommended digital timer. These systems
can be fitted with an economical brush style motor or a maintenance free brushless motor.
