Gasket for PM2.5 Inlet Top Plate SKU: TE-6001-2.5-2

The TE-6001-2.5-2 gasket creates an essential airtight seal between the PM2.5 inlet top plate and other inlet components in Tisch Environmental's high volume ambient air sampling systems. This precision-engineered gasket ensures proper sealing of the PM2.5 size selective inlet assembly, which is critical for EPA-compliant fine particulate matter monitoring under 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L.

Proper sealing prevents sample contamination and maintains accurate volumetric flow measurement, which is essential for calculating mass concentration of PM2.5 particles in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³). The gasket is manufactured to exact specifications to ensure compatibility with the 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L reference method requirements.

Compatibility

This gasket is designed specifically for use with the TE-6001-2.5-1 PM2.5 inlet top plate in the TE-6001 PM2.5 size selective inlet assembly. The TE-6001 series inlet systems are used with Tisch Environmental's high volume air samplers for ambient particulate matter collection. Compatible with all TE-6001 PM2.5 inlet configurations and related PM2.5 monitoring equipment.

Installation and Maintenance

Replace gaskets during routine inlet maintenance or when visual inspection reveals cracking, hardening, or loss of sealing capability. Proper sealing is critical during both sampling and post-sampling periods to prevent temperature effects and maintain sample integrity. Inspect gasket condition before each sampling period to ensure airtight seal performance.

Applications

This gasket supports EPA-compliant PM2.5 ambient air monitoring for NAAQS compliance determination, providing nondestructive sampling that allows subsequent physical or chemical analyses. Essential component for environmental monitoring networks, regulatory compliance monitoring, and ambient air quality assessment programs measuring fine particulate matter concentrations.
