TE-6001-25 Shim Plate Clip (Plastic Only) SKU: TE-6001-25

The TE-6001-25 Shim Plate Clip is a plastic retention clip designed to secure the shim plate within the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet. This essential component ensures proper positioning and retention of the impaction plate during high volume ambient air sampling operations.

In PM10 sampling systems, particles greater than 10 microns aerodynamic diameter impact onto a greased impaction shim plate, while smaller PM10 particles continue through the system to be collected on the filter. The TE-6001-25 clip maintains secure positioning of this critical shim plate throughout the sampling cycle.

Key Specifications

• Material: Durable plastic construction
• Function: Shim plate retention and positioning
• Sold individually (plastic clip only)

Compatibility

The TE-6001-25 Shim Plate Clip is specifically designed for use with:

• TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet assemblies
• TE-6001-24 Shim Plate (sold separately)
• TE-6001-26 Spring for Shim Clips (companion component)
• All Tisch Environmental PM10 high volume air samplers

This clip works in conjunction with the shim plate spring mechanism to provide reliable retention during EPA-compliant PM10 sampling operations conducted according to 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J guidelines.

Installation and Maintenance

The plastic clip design allows for easy installation and removal during routine maintenance of the PM10 inlet system. The shim plate requires recoating with silicone grease between sampling periods, and the TE-6001-25 clips facilitate quick access for this essential maintenance procedure.

Replace clips if cracking, stress damage, or loss of retention force occurs. Proper clip function is essential for maintaining the impaction efficiency required for EPA Federal Reference Method compliance in PM10 ambient air monitoring applications.
