TSP High Volume Air Sampler
A Total suspended particulate sampler or TSP high volume air sampler is used for the collection of
total suspended particulate matter in ambient air with no preference to size selection. The US EPA
reference method for the collection of TSP is called out in 40 CFR 50, appendix B. The TSP high
volume air sampler collects particulate at a flow rate between 40-60 ft/³min over a constant
sampling period. The TSP high volume air sampler is used to determine the concentration of total
suspended particulates or it can be used to determine the identity of the particulates.
TSP high volume air samplers come in a variety of configurations. The basic system is composed of
an anodized aluminium outdoor shelter with a gabled roof assembly. It will include a timing device
to turn the instrument on and off, a filter holder to hold the filter media in place, a vacuum motor, a
device to control the flow, a pressure recorder to record the flow rate, and an elapsed time indicator
to count the sample time.
The TSP high volume air sampler collects total suspend particulates in the air. The vacuum motors
pulls ambient air onto the 8″ x 10″ glass fibre filter at a flow rate between 36-60 cfm. TSP air
particulate samplers do not use a particle separator which results in the collection of all ambient
particulates. The glass fibre filters are weighed pre and post sample and the weight is used to
determine the total suspended particulate matter.
