The multiplication operator for the <strong>in</strong>strument is then 2.84 × 10 -5 ppm v -scfm. The mixture<br />

correction factor (CF) is determ<strong>in</strong>ed based on the <strong>in</strong>dividual correction factors from the vendor at<br />

the PID lamp power used (<strong>in</strong> this case 10.6 eV) and the mole fractions of the gas-free VOCs (i.e.,<br />

mole fractions based only on VOCs).<br />

The mixture correction factor (CF mix ) is 0.55. It was recommended to leave the humidity<br />

correction factor at 1.0 unless the humidity is consistently higher dur<strong>in</strong>g operations than about<br />

20% as shown <strong>in</strong> the humidity correction plot, Figure 7.<br />
