PM10 Inlet Base Pan Hinge Shoulder Bolt - Large SKU: TE-6001-31

The TE-6001-31 is a precision-engineered shoulder bolt designed specifically for the base pan hinge assembly of PM10 high volume air sampler inlets. This non-threaded shoulder bolt allows proper rotation of attached mechanical components in the PM10 inlet hinge system, ensuring smooth operation of the inlet base pan during maintenance and servicing.

Technical Design

This large-size shoulder bolt features a hardened steel construction optimized for the demanding requirements of outdoor ambient air monitoring equipment. The shoulder bolt is hardened for superior wear resistance in continuous-duty applications. The precision shoulder diameter ensures proper fit and alignment within the PM10 inlet hinge bracket assembly.

Compatibility

The TE-6001-31 shoulder bolt is designed for use with the TE-6001-30 PM10 Inlet Base Pan Hinge Bracket and is compatible with PM10 high volume air samplers designed according to 40 CFR appendix J to part 50. This component is essential for maintaining proper mechanical function of the PM10 size selective inlet during routine filter changes and maintenance procedures.

Installation Notes

When installing the shoulder bolt, ensure proper alignment with the hinge bracket to prevent binding during operation. The bolt should be tightened to manufacturer specifications to maintain appropriate pivot resistance while allowing smooth operation of the inlet base pan. Regular inspection of the hinge mechanism is recommended to ensure continued proper function of the PM10 inlet system.

Applications

This component supports PM10 high volume air samplers that collect particulates at flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min through a PM10 size selective inlet, where larger particulates are trapped inside the inlet while smaller PM10 particulates continue through to the filter. Proper hinge function is critical for maintaining EPA compliance and sampling accuracy in ambient air quality monitoring installations.
