Webinar: Intro to Photoionization Detectors (PIDs) for Gas Detection Applications
Tom Kochevar of Honeywell's RAE Systems division helps our customers understand the basics of photoionization detectors in gas detection applications.
In this 55-minute session, he the following topics:
- What is a photoionization detector? What does it measure?
- How does a PID differ from the LEL sensor? Why would I use one over the other?
- Why does the photon energy of a PID lamp matter? Where would I use a 9.8eV, 10.6eV, or 11.7eV lamp?
- What is a correction factor?
- How do I determine the reading of a mixture?
- Q & A session
