Bug Screen Support Angle SKU: TE-6001-19

Bug Screen Support Angle

The TE-6001-19 Bug Screen Support Angle is a precision-machined structural component designed to provide secure mounting support for bug screens in PM10 and PM2.5 inlet assemblies. This angle bracket ensures proper positioning and alignment of protective screens that prevent insects and debris from contaminating sample filters during ambient air monitoring operations.

Function and Design

The support angle maintains the correct geometric relationship between the bug screen and the inlet housing, ensuring proper airflow characteristics through the size-selective inlet while preventing larger particles and biological contaminants from reaching the collection filter. The robust construction withstands continuous outdoor exposure and maintains structural integrity under varying wind loads and weather conditions.

Compatibility

This support angle is engineered for use with Tisch Environmental high volume air sampling systems equipped with PM10 size-selective inlets designed according to 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J guidelines. Compatible applications include:

• PM10 high volume air samplers (TE-6070 series and similar models)
• PM2.5 inlet assemblies requiring bug screen protection
• TSP samplers with protective screening systems
• Multi-stage inlet configurations

Installation and Maintenance

The TE-6001-19 installs using standard fasteners and aligns with existing mounting points in the inlet assembly. Regular inspection should verify secure attachment and check for any deformation that could affect screen positioning. Replace if structural damage or excessive corrosion is observed. The support angle requires no routine maintenance beyond periodic visual inspection during scheduled sampler servicing.

Applications

Essential for ambient air quality monitoring systems used by environmental professionals who need reliable, repeatable data for regulatory monitoring, research projects, and industrial studies. Supports EPA-compliant monitoring programs where particulate sampling operates at flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min during 24-hour sampling periods in robust outdoor installations.
