TE-6001-23 First Stage Plate Vent Tube SKU: TE-6001-23

The TE-6001-23 is a replacement vent tube designed specifically for the first stage plate in Tisch Environmental's TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet system. This precision-machined component maintains proper airflow distribution through the PM10 inlet's impaction stage, ensuring EPA-compliant particle size selection for ambient air monitoring applications.

The vent tube operates as part of the PM10 inlet's cascade impactor design, where air carrying particulate matter flows through precisely sized passages to achieve the required 10-micrometer aerodynamic cutpoint. The TE-6001 PM10 inlet carries EPA designation RFPS-0202-141 and references 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J for PM10 monitoring requirements.

Compatibility

This vent tube is compatible with:

• TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet complete assembly
• TE-6001-22 First Stage Plate with 16 Vent Tubes (replacement for individual tubes in this assembly)
• High volume ambient air samplers operating at 1.13 m³/min (40 CFM) flow rates

Installation and Maintenance

Install the vent tube by threading it into the designated position on the first stage impaction plate. Ensure proper seating to maintain the inlet's calibrated aerodynamic performance. Regular inspection during routine PM10 inlet maintenance helps identify wear or contamination that could affect particle separation efficiency.

The vent tube should be cleaned during standard inlet maintenance procedures or replaced if threading becomes damaged or if dimensional changes affect airflow characteristics. Proper installation maintains the inlet's EPA reference method compliance for ambient PM10 monitoring networks.
