OXY-Flex Zirconia Oxygen Analyser

Zirconia (ZrO2) oxygen analyser with probe: 0.1–25% or 0.1–100% O2, 4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC and RS232 outputs.

ModelOXY-Flex
SKUSST-OXYFLEX
CategorySensors & Sensor Cells

Key Features

  • High accuracy linear output
  • Externally triggered automatic or manual calibration
  • Can be calibrated in fresh air (20.7% O2) or to any other known O2 concentration
  • Selectable output filtering: adaptive, fast and dynamic, or slow and stable
  • 4–20 mA or 0–10 VDC analogue output plus RS232 digital output
  • Probe lengths 220 mm or 400 mm

Overview

The SST OXY-Flex is a zirconium dioxide (zirconia) oxygen analyser with an integral probe, for gas temperatures from -100 °C to +250 °C at the probe tip (-100 °C to +400 °C with the high-temperature option). It gives a high-accuracy linear output, needs no reference gas, and can be calibrated in fresh air (20.7% O2) or to any other known O2 concentration.

Working Principle

A zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) sensing element measures the partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2) in the measurement gas. Because it measures partial pressure, a change in barometric pressure from that present during calibration causes a proportional readout error (e.g. a 1% rise in pressure raises a 21% O2 reading to 21.21% O2). A cycling 3.3 VDC logic output follows the O2 sensor pump cycle for diagnostics.

Benefits

  • No reference gas required
  • Cycling 3.3 VDC logic output allows direct monitoring of the O2 sensor pump cycle for diagnostic purposes
