What Does PFPD Stand For?

PFPD stands for Pulsed Flame Photometer Detector

PFPD, or Pulsed Flame Photometer Detector, is an analytical instrument used to detect and quantify trace levels of specific organic compounds, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and certain metals. It operates by utilizing a pulsed flame to enhance sensitivity and selectivity for target analytes, making it particularly advantageous in environmental monitoring, petrochemical analysis, and safety applications. The PFPD is characterized by its rapid response time and ability to measure low concentrations with high precision, making it a valuable tool for laboratories and industrial settings focused on gas analysis.
