St. Tammany Fire District #1 Chief, Chris Kaufmann, explained there's two types, ionization and photoelectric.

Flame Ionization Detectors Flame ionization detectors (FIDs) are not as common as PIDs but are essential in certain applications.

THE sensitivity of an ordinary hydrogen flame ionization detector to hydrocarbons has been found to be two to three times higher when the detector flame ‘whistles’ or ‘sings’. Further ...

This customized Agilent 7890B Gas Chromatography system is equipped with a gas sampling valve at the inlet which is designed for direct gas sample tests. Two detectors, Thermal Conductivity Detector ...

The pilot program deploys additional teams between Nov. 1 and March 31 using the new technology. Flame-Ionization detectors pass air samples through a hydrogen flame to test for combustible gas.

Photoelectric detectors generally are more responsive to slow-moving, smoldering fires, those that burn without a flame -- like a cigarette butt burning between the cushions of a couch, Vassar said.

Flame ionization detectors have exploited this phenomenon in scientific instruments for a very long time.

The Trace 1310 is a flexible and reliable gas chromatography system, in this case equipped with Split/Splitless (SSL) inlets and Flame Ionization Detectors suitable for quantitation of most organic ...

The Agilent 6890 Series Gas Chromatography System uses an electron capture detector (ECD) to quantify analytes, and the Agilent 7890A Series Gas Chromatography System uses either and ECD or a flame ...

Petrochemical labs also often utilize flame ionization detectors (FID) for GC×GC to provide quantitative results via area percent calculations. View Poster Petrochemicals Gas Chromatography Mass ...
