  Gas sampling line options are numerous and the first thing that one needs to consider is the type of gases being tested. There are different types of testing gases available for gas sampling such as volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter, pesticides, lead, temperature and others. The various models of these lines include portable and permanent models. Gas sampling lines come with male/male luer fittings. Male connectors are usually made of rigid clear flexible plastic and include a forward midstream sampling fitting and are also compatible with some models of gas analyzers. Different types of gas sampling lines include: wet-cell and dry-cell. Wet-cell model includes a dual moving coil and a wet loop electrode that are enclosed in a rigid sleeve. This model is known for high reliability and durability even under heavy pressure and high temperatures. The wet-cell model uses a float arm to gather the CO 2 data. Dry cell model includes a single or dual moving coil that
