Precautions for Using PID (Photoionization Detector) Sensors

Precautions for Using PID (Photoionization Detector) Sensors

PID (Photoionization Detector) sensors detect gas concentrations by ionizing the substance to be measured through the energy excitation of an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. Characterized by high sensitivity, they are widely used in the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The ultraviolet (UV) lamp energy of PID sensors typically includes 9.8 eV, 10.6 eV, and 11.7 … Read more
