The TE-6001-36 Shelter Base Pan Gasket provides essential weatherproof sealing for High Volume PM10 Inlet monitoring systems. This 16" x 16" elastomeric gasket creates an airtight seal between the shelter base pan and housing components, preventing moisture infiltration and environmental contamination that could compromise sampling accuracy.
The gasket delivers critical environmental protection by sealing against rain, snow, dust, and temperature extremes commonly encountered in outdoor air quality monitoring applications. Proper sealing ensures consistent airflow patterns and protects sensitive instrumentation housed within the shelter assembly.
Compatibility
TE-6001-36 gasket is designed specifically for use with the TE-6001-35 Shelter Base Pan in TE-6000 Series PM10 sampling systems. Shelter Base Pan Gasket 16"x 16" works in conjunction with related shelter components including TE-6001-37 base pan catches, TE-6001-39 hinge brackets, and TE-6001-40/41 strut holder spacers to ensure complete shelter assembly integrity.
Installation and Maintenance
Replace gasket when visual inspection reveals cracking, permanent deformation, or loss of elasticity. Environmental exposure to UV radiation and temperature cycling gradually degrades gasket performance over time. Tisch Environmental recommends periodic inspection during routine maintenance to ensure continued weatherproof sealing. Proper gasket condition is essential for maintaining EPA compliance in ambient air monitoring applications.
Applications
Essential component for outdoor PM10 monitoring stations operating under 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J reference method requirements. Supports regulatory compliance monitoring for National Ambient Air Quality Standards, industrial source assessment, and environmental research applications where consistent shelter environmental protection is required.
