Oxygen Deficiency Monitor for Your Application

When selecting an oxygen analyzer for your critical process application, consider factors like sensor type, maintenance, and calibration needs. Different oxygen sensors are suited for specific applications, so choose one based on the requirements of your process.

Oxygen Sensor Types:

• Ambient Temperature Electrochemical Sensors: Known for accuracy in both trace and percent oxygen measurements, these sensors have extended life but are vulnerable to damage from acid gases and over-pressurization.
• Paramagnetic Sensors: Offering precise measurements across 1%-100% oxygen, these sensors work by detecting the magnetic properties of oxygen. However, they are delicate, sensitive to vibration, and not suitable for trace oxygen measurements.
• Polarographic Sensors: Ideal for dissolved oxygen in liquids, these sensors are suited for percent oxygen measurements in gases. They have low maintenance requirements but are prone to frequent sensor replacements.
• Zirconium Oxide Sensors: Operating at high temperatures (650°C), these sensors are ideal for combustion control applications. They can measure a wide range of oxygen concentrations but are unsuitable for trace oxygen measurements when reducing gases are present.

Each sensor type has its strengths and limitations, so assess your process needs carefully before choosing the right oxygen analyzer.
