Top Tub Housing for TE-6001 PM10 Inlet
The TE-6001-5 Top Tub Housing is a critical structural component of the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet system, designed for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J compliant PM10 ambient air monitoring. This weatherproof housing protects the upper section of the inlet assembly while maintaining the aerodynamic integrity required for accurate particulate sampling.
Technical Details
The top tub housing forms the upper half of the PM10 inlet's protective enclosure, working in conjunction with the bottom tub housing to create a sealed environment that shields internal components from weather while allowing proper airflow. The housing interfaces with the bead gasket strip (TE-6001-11) that provides the seal between tubs, ensuring no contamination enters the sampling pathway.
Compatible Components
This top tub housing is specifically designed for use with:
- TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet - Primary inlet assembly
- TE-6001-13 Bottom Tub Housing - Mating lower housing section
- TE-6001-6 Top Tub Housing Strike - Latch strike plate
- TE-6001-7 Top Tub Housing Hinge - Hinge hardware
- TE-6001-8 Top Tub Housing Strut Holder Large - Support strut mounting
- TE-6001-10 Strut - Opening support strut
- TE-6001-11 Bead Gasket Strip - Weather seal between housings
Installation and Maintenance
When installing the TE-6001-5, ensure proper alignment with the bottom tub housing and verify that the bead gasket strip creates a complete seal around the perimeter. The housing should open and close smoothly on its hinge assembly, with the strut providing adequate support when opened for maintenance access. Regular inspection of gasket integrity and hinge operation ensures continued weather protection and sampling accuracy.
Applications
Essential for EPA-compliant PM10 monitoring stations, this housing component enables reliable operation in all weather conditions while maintaining the precise airflow characteristics required for accurate particulate matter collection. Used in ambient air quality monitoring networks, industrial source assessment, and research applications requiring validated PM10 sampling methods.
