Chemical Ionization Potential (eV) and 10.6eV PID ...

1 Chemical Ionization Potential (eV) and PID Correction Factors (CF) Ionization Potential Too High (> ) Correction Factor High (>10) Ionization Potential Known, CF Unknown Ionization Potential Varies, CF Good* (< 10) Ionization Potential Known, CF Good* (< 10) We cannot provide a solution with the currently available lamp Detectable, but high CF makes it hard to manage and obtain reliable data Detectable, however, CF needs to be established, usually done by the customer Detectable with a CF less than 10. *Correction factors near 10 should be carefully considered based on exposure limits and application.
