Decreased Sensitivity of Photoionization Detector Total Organic Vapor Detectors in the Presence of Methane

Aging effect of a molecularly imprinted polymer on a quartz tuning fork sensor for detection of volatile organic compounds

“…There have been many patents regarding gas detection with PID [8][9][10]. Due to the nature of detection, some non-VOC gases are also detected by PID [11,12], and therefore the context of use is relevant for PID technology applications. GC-MS is the gold standard in gas detection.…”

Corrosion problems and solutions in oil, gas, refining and petrochemical industry

“…Gas detectors have been developed (PID -photoionization detectors) which can detect hydrocarbon gases at concentrations of 1 ppb [79,80]. These gas detectors are lightweight and portable.…”

Exposure assessment for automotive repair tasks in an attached garage

“…Different lamps will ionize compounds that have an ionization energy that is less than the energy of the ultraviolet photons emitted by the lamp. The amount of current produced is proportional to the amount of chemical present (Nyquist et al, 1990). Like most scientific equipment, it is imperative that PIDs be regularly calibrated.…”
