TE-6001-11 Bead Gasket Strip for PM10 Size Selective Inlet SKU: TE-6001-11

The TE-6001-11 Bead Gasket Strip provides the critical seal between tub sections in the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet system. This precision-manufactured gasket ensures airtight connections between inlet components, maintaining EPA-compliant flow characteristics essential for accurate PM10 particulate collection.

Critical Sealing Function

This gasket strip creates an airtight barrier between the upper and lower tub sections of the PM10 inlet assembly. Proper sealing prevents sample air bypass and maintains the controlled 40 CFM flow rate required for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J compliance. Any air leakage compromises particle size separation efficiency and invalidates sampling results.

Material and Design

The bead gasket design provides consistent compression and sealing pressure across the entire joint interface. The gasket material resists degradation from outdoor environmental exposure, temperature cycling, and contact with collected particulate matter and moisture.

Compatibility

This gasket strip is specifically engineered for use in the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet assembly. It works in conjunction with other inlet components including the inlet hood (TE-6001-1), bottom tub housing (TE-6001-13), and acceleration nozzle plate gasket (TE-6001-4) to maintain system integrity.

Installation and Maintenance

Replace this gasket whenever disassembling the inlet tub sections for cleaning or maintenance. Inspect the gasket for compression set, cracking, or permanent deformation during routine maintenance intervals. A compromised gasket seal will affect flow measurement accuracy and PM10 size cut performance. Clean gasket sealing surfaces thoroughly before installing new gaskets to ensure proper seating and seal integrity.
