High Performance Trace Oxygen Sensor
The Series 3520 Trace Oxygen Analyzer features our long-life ambient temperature electrochemical sensor that has a functional life of up to three times that of most “fuel cell” type sensors. The enhanced mechanical design of the sensor ensures longer life, and virtually eliminates leakage of caustic electrolyte, a nagging (and expensive) problem associated with sensors that require periodic electrolyte maintenance. And, because the sensor is sealed, it is not position sensitive. In addition, unlike ome electrochemical sensors, the readings from the Series 3520 do not require manual adjustment based on changes in the molecular weights of the sample gas i.e. helium, hydrogen, etc. a major advantage for continuous measuring applications. The output from the sensor is both
linear and temperature compensated to provide optimum performance.
Why Choose a Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer?
Portable analyzers allow technicians to verify oxygen purity at multiple sampling locations without installing permanent instrumentation.
Benefits include:
- Immediate oxygen verification
