The TE-6002 is an anodized aluminum outdoor shelter specifically designed for PM10 high volume air samplers complying with federal reference method requirements under 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J. This solid front shelter houses the critical components of PM10 sampling systems while providing complete weather protection for continuous ambient air monitoring operations.
The shelter is designed to allow particulate matter to be drawn onto the filter from all directions while providing rugged construction that withstands the elements with minimal maintenance. The anodized aluminum construction ensures long-term durability in outdoor environments, protecting sensitive sampling equipment from rain, wind, and UV exposure.
System Compatibility
This shelter is designed for use with PM10 high volume air samplers including:
- TE-6070 series PM10 samplers with EPA designation RFPS-0202-141
- Systems utilizing TE-6001 PM10 size selective inlets
- Both MFC (Mass Flow Controlled) and VFC (Volumetric Flow Controlled) configurations
- Standard 8" x 10" stainless steel filter holder assemblies
Applications
PM10 high volume air samplers are federal reference method (FRM) instruments designed to collect ambient particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10µm or less. The TE-6002 shelter supports monitoring applications including:
- NAAQS compliance monitoring for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J requirements
- Industrial fence line monitoring
- Construction site particulate assessment
- Environmental impact studies
- Public health monitoring programs
Installation Notes
The solid front design provides maximum component protection while maintaining proper airflow characteristics essential for accurate PM10 sampling. Complete PM10 systems typically have assembled dimensions of 28"W x 28"L x 61"H. This shelter accommodates the full range of PM10 sampler components including blower assemblies, timers, flow controllers, and chart recorders required for EPA-compliant monitoring.
