Top Tub Housing Strike for TE-6001 PM10 Inlet SKU: TE-6001-6

The TE-6001-6 Top Tub Housing Strike is a critical latching component for the TE-6001 PM10 Size Selective Inlet used in high volume ambient air samplers. This precision-machined strike works with the housing hinge mechanism to provide secure closure of the top tub housing during PM10 sampling operations.

Function and Operation

The housing strike serves as the fixed catch point for the inlet's latch mechanism, ensuring the top tub housing remains securely closed during high-volume air sampling. This secure closure is essential for maintaining proper airflow patterns through the PM10 size-selective inlet and preventing contamination of the sampling path.

Compatibility

The TE-6001-6 strike is specifically designed for the TE-6001 PM10 inlet system and works in conjunction with:

• TE-6001-7 Top Tub Housing Hinge
• TE-6001-5 Top Tub Housing (main housing assembly)
• TE-6001-43 Swing Bolt Assembly with brass bolt, thumb nut, washer, and lock nut
• TE-6001-8 and TE-6001-9 strut holder components

Installation and Maintenance

The strike mounts to the top tub housing structure and should be inspected regularly for proper alignment with the latch mechanism. As part of the EPA-compliant PM10 sampling system, ensure all housing components maintain secure closure to prevent air leaks that could affect sampling accuracy. Replace if wear or damage prevents proper latching action.

Applications

Essential for EPA PM10 ambient air monitoring applications where secure inlet housing closure is critical for maintaining sampling integrity. Used in environmental monitoring stations, industrial air quality assessments, and compliance monitoring programs requiring PM10 particle size-selective sampling.
