Measuring VOCs with PIDs

In this Tech Tip video from the Indoor Air Quality Association (iaqa.org), you'll learn how photo-ionization detectors (PIDs) may be used to measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The video highlights some of the benefits and limitations of these devices.

I have watched over 500 informational/training-related videos over the past 3-4 years....most ranging between 10-40 minutes in length (I know, that seems a bit much, but I have "issues")..... and I have never come across as good a video as this. It provides a conceptually clear, top-down view into PIDs, and packs critical contextual information to understand about the strengths/weaknesses of PIDs into just 3 minutes.....the graphics help too. While PIDs may be a bit of an obscure topic, just have your furnace's fuel oil tank leak >5 gallons in NY state and you will of necessity become intimately familiar with them,. And I am grateful to these folks who clearly take pride in their field and delivered a professional product that will help folks get oriented quickly.

Hi. I am a novice about the sensors. I am interested in knowing how to use PID and to obtain readings from it on to a computer in real time. The idea is to write a program that gets the data from PID and launch various actions based on the reading such as ringing an alarm on a certain reading. Dr. Khalid

Try selling this service to a customer, Time explaing the method, the diffrent compounds and then giving them a solutions is a hard to impossible solution, Like a Particle counter, I will put the particle size in a chamber based on size , but you will have to assume the what the particle is based on this size.. I had these tools and the price (over 14K) I all could tell the customer is we need to do lab work. These tools in the toolbox will never be recouped monitary wise,..

Noone makes a good VOC air purifier for consumer residential use. All the ones that claim to remove VOCs do not.
