    The video demonstrates the process of calibrating a TE-67B PM10 volumetric flow control air sampler. It starts with the removal of the frame from the TE 3000 cartridge, followed by the installation of the TE 5035 adapter plate from the calibration kit. After that, the TE 50:28 calibrator is installed while ensuring the four holes are completely open. The setup involves connecting tubing to the calibrator and manometers, turning on the sampler, and recording pressure readings. The calibration involves adjusting the sampler reading and following the US EPA's recommended five-point calibration method. Finally, after removing the equipment, it details entering calibration data into worksheets, including readings from manometers, location, technician details, and ensuring the calibration is within acceptable limits. The session concludes with verification of calibration success, noting all readings are within a four percent difference, indicating a successful calibration.

    the first step is to remove the frame
  • 00:00:15
    from the TE 3000 cartridge and install
  • 00:00:18
    the TE 5 0 3 5 adapter plate that is
  • 00:00:21
    inside the calibration kit which is a te
  • 00:00:24
    5 0 to 8 you loosen the four plastic
  • 00:00:28
    thumb nuts and you install the TE 50 35
  • 00:00:31
    making sure that the washers are on top
  • 00:00:35
    of the plate
  • 00:00:59
    next install the TE 50:28 calibrator
  • 00:01:03
    turn the knob counterclockwise to open
  • 00:01:06
    the four holes on the bottom completely
  • 00:01:08
    open
  • 00:01:19
    with the calibrator installed insert the
  • 00:01:21
    black piece of tubing onto the pressure

    tap of the calibrator now the male tube
  • 00:01:29
    fitty needs to be installed into the
  • 00:01:32
    bulkhead fitting loosen the valves on
  • 00:01:36
    the two manometers this is done by
  • 00:01:39
    turning them counterclockwise and
  • 00:01:41
    removing them and then putting them back
  • 00:01:43
    on there by one thread
  • 00:02:03
    installed a black piece of to me to the
  • 00:02:05
    manometer on left and install the clear

    piece of tubing to the manometer on the
  • 00:02:10
    right one side is open to that Mister
  • 00:02:12
    the other will have the piece of tubing

    on
  • 00:02:17
    turn the sampler on by flipping the
  • 00:02:19
    switch on the timer to the right the
  • 00:02:23
    manometer on the left is hooked up to
  • 00:02:25
    the calibrator and the manometer on the
  • 00:02:27
    right is hooked up to the sampler the
  • 00:02:31
    manometer on the Left went up 1.8 and
  • 00:02:34
    down 1.8 for a total of 3.6 inches of
  • 00:02:37
    water
