PIDs are calibrated to isobutylene. Use correction factors to get true chemical concentration.
Corrected Reading: -- ppm
Calculation: --
💡 HOW TO USE:
1. Read your PID (calibrated to isobutylene)
2. Select the chemical you're monitoring
3. Enter your PID reading
4. The calculator shows TRUE concentration
Example: Gasoline spill reads 50 ppm. CF = 2.1. True concentration = 50 × 2.1 = 105 ppm
Convert LEL% readings to actual ppm concentration. Remember: Products are TOXIC before they're EXPLOSIVE.
Actual Concentration: -- ppm

🔥 CRITICAL TRAINING POINT:
Chemicals are TOXIC before they're EXPLOSIVE!
Example: Gasoline
• Toxic at ~300 ppm (health hazard)
• 10% LEL = 1,400 ppm (still below explosive range)
• 100% LEL = 14,000 ppm (explosive range)
Lesson: Even "low" LEL readings can be serious toxic hazards!
