PID Sensor Technology

The PID (photoionisation detector) sensors complete the DrägerSensor lineup in the field of detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the ppm or ppb ranges. Therefore, they are a useful addition to workplace monitoring with multi-gas detectors i … More informationn certain applications.

PID sensors can be used in a variety of ways, such as for clearance measurements during shutdowns in the chemical and petrochemical industries, monitoring work in shafts and confined spaces, leak detection, and many other applications.

Selective benzene detection can be carried out using the Dräger X-am 8000 in combination with the benzene pre-tube. The pre-tube filters out all hydrocarbons present except for benzene.

The Dräger PID measuring devices are equipped with water-repellent membranes to protect the integrated PID sensor during industrial use. The PID sensors also have very short response times and provide a rapid warning.

The PID sensors are adjusted quickly and simply using isobutene. Isobutene is a harmless gas that is available in practical, disposable test gas cylinders. The sensitivity for the monitored substance can then be set individually using response factor … More informations. This means that adjustments can be made right there at any time.

The PID sensors are optimised for use with Dräger gas detection devices developed in-house. This allows the full performance of the PID sensors to be utilised.
