Product Introduction

1. PID Photoionization Gas Sensor/TVOC Detection Sensor PID-AH Product Description:

PID-AHPhotoionization gas sensorCan detect VOC gases at 1 ppb and can detect over 2000 different VOC gases. Many hazardous material raw materials contain VOCs. Due to its high sensitivity to VOCs, PID has become an indispensable practical tool for early hazard warning and leak monitoring of hazardous substances. It is very suitable for ambient air quality monitoring systems and instruments.
