The TE-6001-38 Shelter Base Pan Catch Spacer is a precision-engineered component designed for PM10 high volume air samplers housed in anodized aluminum shelters. This spacer provides proper alignment and spacing within the shelter base pan catch assembly, ensuring optimal performance of your EPA-designated RFPS-0202-141 compliant monitoring system.
System Integration
The spacer works as part of the complete base pan assembly system, which includes the TE-6001-35 aluminum base pan, TE-6001-37 catch with bolt, and TE-6001-36 base pan gasket. Together, these components maintain the structural integrity of the shelter while allowing particulate matter to be drawn onto the filter from all directions.
Compatibility
This spacer is compatible with Tisch Environmental PM10 high volume air samplers, including:
- TE-6070 series MFC PM10 samplers
- VFC PM10 sampling systems
- Custom PM10 configurations using the TE-6001 PM10 size selective inlet
Installation Notes
Proper installation of the catch spacer ensures correct positioning within the base pan assembly. The spacer maintains critical tolerances required for flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min during 24-hour sampling periods. Replace as needed during routine maintenance to maintain system performance and EPA compliance.
