LEL vs PID Sensors

LEL vs. PID Sensors

  • Catalytic LEL and PID sensors are complementary detection techniques
  • Catalytic LEL sensors excellent for methane, propane, and other common combustible gases that are NOT detectable by PID
  • PIDs detect large VOC and hydrocarbon molecules that are undetectable by hotbead sensors
  • Best approach is to use multi-sensor instrument that includes both types of sensors
