The TE-G653-47 is a 47mm diameter glass fiber filter manufactured to Grade G653 specifications for precision particulate sampling applications. This filter grade provides a minimum 99% collection efficiency for particles of 0.3 µm diameter as measured by the DOP test (ASTM-2986), making it suitable for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring when used with appropriate sampling equipment.
Technical Specifications
- Diameter: 47mm
- Material: Binderless borosilicate glass fiber
- Particle retention: ≥99% efficiency at 0.3 µm
- Pack quantity: 100 filters per package
- Maximum operating temperature: Up to 550°C
EPA Compliance and Applications
G653 grade filters are specified for use with high volume air samplers under 40 CFR Part 50, Appendixes B (TSP) and J (PM10). The 47mm diameter format is commonly used in smaller sampling systems, cascade impactors, and specialized monitoring applications requiring precise particulate collection.
Primary applications include:
- Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) monitoring
- PM10 ambient air quality assessment
- Anderson cascade impactor sampling
- Laboratory analytical procedures
- Source emission testing
Compatibility
The TE-G653-47 filters are compatible with 47mm filter holders and sampling devices. For larger format requirements, Tisch Environmental also manufactures G653 grade filters in 8" x 10" (TE-G653), 37mm (TE-G653-37), and 25mm (TE-G653-25) sizes to accommodate various sampling system configurations.
Material Properties
Manufactured from binderless borosilicate glass fiber, these filters provide excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability. The absence of organic binders eliminates potential interference in gravimetric analysis and ensures consistent performance across a wide range of environmental monitoring applications. The high dirt-holding capacity and fast flow rates characteristic of glass fiber media make these filters particularly effective for ambient air sampling.
