The TE-6001-40 Shelter Base Pan Strut Holder Spacer is a small precision component designed for use in Tisch Environmental's TE-6000 Series PM10 high volume air sampler shelter assemblies. This spacer maintains proper alignment and spacing within the shelter base pan strut holder mechanism, ensuring structural integrity of the sampling system during operation.
Function & Installation
This small spacer provides critical dimensional control between the strut holder components and the shelter base pan assembly. The aluminum shelter is designed to allow particulate matter to be drawn onto the filter from all directions, with rugged construction that withstands the elements with minimal maintenance. The TE-6001-40 spacer ensures proper mechanical tolerances are maintained throughout the shelter's operational life.
Compatibility
This spacer is specifically designed for use with the TE-6001-35 Shelter Base Pan and related strut holder assemblies in TE-6000 Series PM10 samplers. Compatible shelter components include:
- TE-6001-35 Shelter Base Pan
- TE-6001-37 Shelter Base Pan Catch
- TE-6001-39 Shelter Base Pan Hinge Bracket
- TE-6001-41 Shelter Base Pan Strut Holder Spacer (standard size)
Specifications
- Size designation: Small
- Material: Engineered for outdoor environmental exposure
- Application: Shelter base pan strut holder assemblies
- System compatibility: TE-6000 Series PM10 samplers designed according to 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J guidelines
Applications
This component supports PM10 federal reference method (FRM) instruments designed to collect ambient particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10µm or less, operating at flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min during 24-hour sampling periods. The shelter assembly protects the sampling system while ensuring proper airflow patterns for accurate particulate collection in ambient air quality monitoring applications.
Maintenance Notes
Replace spacers during major shelter maintenance or if dimensional wear is observed. Proper spacer installation is critical for maintaining shelter structural integrity and sampling accuracy. Tisch Environmental uses only high quality components to ensure reliability and consistency in all PM10 sampling applications.
