Ask for informationThe Tiger XT PID Detector is an advanced portable instrument for rapid and precise detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using photoionization detection (PID) technology, considered one of the most powerful and versatile in its class. Its robust design, resistant to moisture and contamination, allows for reliable measurements even in demanding industrial environments, humid atmospheres, or work areas with the presence of pollutants.
Equipped with patented electrode technology that enhances sensor performance and reduces the need for constant adjustments, the Tiger XT offers ultra-fast response times (T90 < 2 seconds), an extremely wide measurement range (from ≈1 ppb to 20 000 ppm), and the ability to identify hundreds of VOCs and toxic compounds with a single portable device.
Its ergonomic and portable design allows for comfortable one-handed operation, while optional features such as data logging (up to 120 000 timestamped readings), visual/audible/vibration alarm modes, and USB communication make it an ideal tool for environmental technicians, industrial safety, maintenance, and emergency response personnel.
Technical Video: Calibration and Setup (6'32")
The Tiger XT PID Detector operates using photoionization sensors (PID) that detect volatile organic compounds in the air, generating a signal proportional to the gas concentration.
Results are displayed on a digital screen in real-time, and the device activates visual and sound alarms when predefined safety levels are exceeded. Its portable and robust design allows reliable work in the field or industry, ensuring accurate and representative measurements for safety, environmental control, and process optimization.
What is the difference between the Tiger XT and the Tiger XTL?
The Tiger XT detects from 1 ppb to 20,000 ppm and supports 10.6, 11.7, and 9.8 eV lamps.
The Tiger XTL detects from 0.1 ppm to 5,000 ppm and only supports a 10.6 eV lamp.
The Tiger XT is aimed at trace detection (ppb), while the Tiger XTL is designed for standard industrial applications in ppm.
Which Tiger PID model should I choose?
Does the Tiger XT have more data logging capacity than the Tiger XTL?
Yes. The Tiger XT offers greater configuration and data logging options, making it more suitable for technical work, audits, and documented environmental studies.
Can a PID detect formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde requires an 11.7 eV lamp. Only the Tiger XT is compatible with this setting.
The Tiger XTL, working exclusively with 10.6 eV, is not suitable for this application.
PID Lamp 11.7 eV vs 10.6 eV: What is the difference?
How long does a 10.6 eV PID lamp last?
A 10.6 eV lamp typically has a lifespan of 2 to 3 years under normal use and maintenance conditions.
How long does an 11.7 eV PID lamp last?
The 11.7 eV lamp can last between 1 and 6 months, depending on environmental humidity and working conditions.
What gases can a PID detect?
A PID detector can measure gases whose ionization potential is lower than the energy of the installed lamp. In practice, they are mainly used for measuring VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Do the Tiger XT and Tiger XTL detect the same gases?
With 10.6 eV lamp
Yes, with a 10.6 eV lamp, both the Tiger XT and the Tiger XTL detect the same volatile organic compounds.
However, the Tiger XT allows for the installation of an 11.7 eV lamp, extending detection to compounds with higher ionization potential, such as formaldehyde.
