    The TE-6001-1 Inlet Hood is a critical protective component designed specifically for the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet for High Volume Ambient Air Sampler. This weather-resistant hood provides essential protection for the PM10 inlet's symmetrical design that insures wind-direction insensitivity while maintaining optimal sampling performance in harsh environmental conditions.

    Weather Protection for Critical Sampling

    The inlet hood serves as the first line of defense against environmental elements that could compromise sampling integrity. An air sample enters a symmetrical (therefore wind-direction insensitive) hood and is deflected upward into a buffer chamber, making this protective component essential for maintaining the inlet's omnidirectional head performance at the designed flow rate of 68 m³/h (40 cfm).

    EPA-Compliant Design Integration

    This hood is engineered to work seamlessly with the TE-6001 PM10 inlet system, which operates according to 40 CFR appendix J to part 50 and designated as a federal reference method sampler under designation number 0202-141. The design ensures that only concentrations of PM10 are deposited onto the filter by maintaining proper airflow patterns through the size-selective inlet during 24 hour sampling periods.

    Compatibility

    The TE-6001-1 is specifically manufactured for the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet assembly. This hood integrates with various Tisch Environmental PM10 high volume air sampler configurations, including systems with mass flow controllers (MFC) and volumetric flow controllers (VFC) that operate at the standard 40 CFM sampling rate.

    Installation Notes

    Proper installation of the inlet hood is critical for maintaining the SSI hood onto acceleration nozzle plate (top of SSI) configuration. The hood must be positioned to preserve the inlet's wind-directional insensitivity while providing maximum weather protection. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure the hood remains properly seated and free from debris that could affect sampling performance.
