Thumbnail Filmstrip of TE-6001-13 Bottom Tub Housing - PM10 Inlet Component Images
The TE-6001-13 Bottom Tub Housing serves as the lower structural component of the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet system, providing the foundation for EPA-compliant particulate monitoring in high volume air sampling applications. This precision-machined aluminum housing forms the base of the two-stage impactor inlet designed for PM-10 sampling of suspended particles with a diameter of 10 microns or less, as specified by EPA PM-10, CFR Appendix J to Part 50.
Structural Design and Function
The bottom tub housing works in conjunction with the top tub housing (TE-6001-5) to create the complete impactor assembly that separates larger particles from the PM10 fraction. The housing accommodates the first stage plate with 16 vent tubes (TE-6001-22) and provides mounting points for critical inlet components including the bug screen support system and alignment hardware.
Key Specifications
- Material: Anodized aluminum construction for weather resistance
- Compatible with TE-6001 PM10 inlet assembly
- Designed for 40 cfm flow rate applications
- Outdoor deployment rated for continuous operation
Compatibility and Assembly
The TE-6001-13 Bottom Tub Housing is specifically designed for use with:
- TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet complete assembly
- TE-6001-5 Top Tub Housing
- TE-6001-14 Bottom Tub Housing Catch (no hook)
- TE-6001-15 Bottom Tub Housing Catch Hook
- TE-6001-16 Bottom Tub Housing Hinge
- TE-6001-11 Bead Gasket Strip (between tubs)
- High volume air samplers including TE-6070 series systems
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation requires alignment with brass alignment pins (TE-6001-12 large, TE-6001-27 small) and sealing with the bead gasket strip between tub housings. The housing includes integrated hinge mounting points for field access during filter changes and maintenance operations. Regular inspection should focus on gasket seal integrity and hinge operation to maintain EPA compliance standards.
Applications
Essential component for ambient air quality monitoring stations requiring 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J compliant PM10 sampling. Used in environmental monitoring networks, industrial perimeter monitoring, and research applications where precise particle size selection is critical for accurate concentration measurements.
