Thumbnail Filmstrip of TE-6001-2.5-4 Bug Screen for PM2.5 Inlet Images
The TE-6001-2.5-4 bug screen provides essential protection for PM2.5 air sampling inlets by preventing insects, debris, and other airborne contaminants from entering the sampling system. A bug screen similar to that of dichotomous PM10 sampler was installed in the present sampler to protect any unwanted debris for the field test. This protective barrier ensures clean, uncontaminated air reaches the PM2.5 impactor and filter assembly.
Protection and Performance
Designed specifically for PM2.5 sampling applications, this bug screen blocks insects, leaves, pollen, and other debris while maintaining proper airflow characteristics essential for EPA-compliant monitoring. The screen's mesh design allows particles smaller than 2.5 µm to pass through while stopping larger contaminants that could compromise sample integrity or damage downstream components.
Key Specifications
- Compatible with PM2.5 sampling inlets
- Maintains required airflow for PTFE Filters for EPA PM 2.5 Reference Method, under the requirements of 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L
- Weather-resistant construction for outdoor deployment
- Easy-clean design for routine maintenance
Compatibility
The TE-6001-2.5-4 bug screen is designed for use with PM2.5 air sampling systems and inlets. It integrates with Tisch Environmental's PM2.5 samplers and other EPA-compliant monitoring equipment. Proper installation ensures the screen does not interfere with the PM2.5 size range particles collected on a Teflon® filter during a specified 24-hour sampling period while providing essential protection against contamination.
Maintenance
Regular inspection and cleaning of the bug screen is recommended to maintain optimal sampling performance. The screen can be cleaned with a soft brush or gentle water rinse to remove accumulated debris. Replace the screen if mesh integrity is compromised or if cleaning cannot restore proper airflow characteristics. Tisch Environmental recommends inspecting the bug screen during routine sampler maintenance to ensure continued protection of sensitive PM2.5 monitoring components.
