Appendix H: 10.0 eV/Benzene PID Sensor
Overview
This appendix describes the GX-6000’s 10.0 eV/benzene sensor (RKI part
number PID-003L).
The 10.0 eV/benzene PID sensor detects VOCs in the 0-100.00 ppm range
when used in Measuring Mode. It is optimized for benzene detection. The
standard calibration for the 10.0 eV/benzene PID sensor is to benzene but it
can be factory setup for and calibrated to other gases. Regardless of the
calibration gas, the 10.0 eV/benzene sensor will still detect and respond to a
variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while used in Measuring
Mode. Even though the 10.0 eV/benzene sensor can be used for general VOC
detection, if your application is for general VOC detection and is not related
to monitoring for benzene specifically, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends
that the low range or high range 10.6 eV PID sensor be used instead.
The 10.0 eV/benzene PID sensor detects VOCs in the 0-50.00 ppm range
when used in Benzene Select Mode. The filter tube that needs to be used in
Benzene Select Mode allows benzene to pass through but scrubs out all other
VOCs except for nitrobenzene, cyclohexane, n-octane, and n-pentane.
Common applications for the 10.0 eV/benzene PID sensor include process
monitoring where only benzene is present or petroleum industry monitoring
where other VOCs may be present.
See the table below for 10.0 eV/benzene sensor specifications.
