The TE-6001-2.5-5 Screen and Nozzle Plate Adapter is a precision-machined component designed to secure the debris screen and nozzle assembly within PM2.5 size-selective inlets for high volume air samplers. This adapter ensures proper alignment and sealing of critical inlet components for EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring applications.
Technical Function
The adapter creates a secure mounting interface between the inlet housing and the bug screen and acceleration nozzle components. It maintains the precise geometric relationships required for proper particle size separation and prevents bypass airflow that could compromise sampling accuracy. The size selective inlet traps larger particulates while allowing PM2.5 particles to continue through to the collection filter.
Key Specifications
- Precision-machined aluminum construction
- Compatible with standard PM2.5 high volume inlet assemblies
- Corrosion-resistant anodized finish
- Designed for EPA compliance monitoring applications
Compatibility
This adapter is specifically designed for use with Tisch Environmental TE-6001-2.5-I PM2.5 Size Selective Inlet assemblies. It works in conjunction with related components including:
- TE-6001-2.5-4 Bug Screen
- TE-6001-2.5-6 Acceleration Nozzle Plate
- TE-6001-2.5-7 Acceleration Nozzles
- TE-6001-2.5-1 Top Plate and TE-6001-2.5-2 Gasket
Installation and Maintenance
The adapter installs between the inlet housing and screen assembly using standard hardware. Regular inspection ensures the adapter remains properly seated and sealed. Any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage require immediate replacement to maintain inlet integrity and EPA compliance.
PM2.5 reference method samplers require precisely specified inlet components and internal configurations to ensure accurate particle size separation. This adapter is manufactured to meet the dimensional tolerances required for EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring applications.
