Overview
The Tiger XT is a handheld photoionisation detector (PID) from the British company Ion Science for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is used where hydrocarbon and solvent vapours endanger people and plant: refineries and petrochemicals, tank and manhole entry, environmental surveys.
It reads from 1 ppb to 20,000 ppm and responds in under 2 seconds. The housing is IP65 rated, with ATEX and IECEx certification.
Fence Electrode Technology
Conventional PIDs drift in humid air and when the sensor is contaminated. Patented Fence Electrode Technology diverts the stray current caused by moisture and deposits, so the Tiger XT works reliably in damp vessels, manholes and outdoors. The sensor design is also contamination resistant.
