Oxygen measurement in a 19" cassette.

The PMA30 provides fast, accurate and reliable oxygen measurement in a 19" cassette.

It has a SIL rating according EN61508 and includes an integral flow alarm.  

The PMA30 can be ordered in two configurations:

  • PMA30A/D has a combined analogue/digital meter
  • PMA30/D has only a digital meter

Paramagnetism is significantly higher for oxygen than other common gases.  The M&C magneto-dynamic measurement cell uses this physical phenomenon to provide the most accurate and reliable measurements available.

The small (2 ml) flow cell houses a robust sensor that can have a flow rate of up to 1 l/min. The small cell design improves speed of response and the paramagnetic sensor measures oxygen concentrations with a response time of less than 3 seconds.

The analyser is able to have 5 selectable ranges:

  • 0 to 1%
  • 0 to 3%
  • 0 to 10%
  • 0 to 30%
  • and 0 to 100%

This allows this system to be used for trace level oxygen measurements as well as oxygen purity applications.

GENERAL

Measurement

Oxygen

Configuration

On-line

Measuring range

Selectable for 0 to 1, 0 to 3, 0 to 30, 0 to 10, 0 to 30, and 0 to 100 vol% O2, linear.

Expanded measuring ranges

Optional. Zero suppression for spreading of measuring range, adjusted by the standard ranges, for example 20 to 21 % (1 %), 18 to 21 % (3 %), 90 to 100 % (10 %), max. 97 to 100 %, incl. process pressure compensation type SDPD

External measuring range indication

Potential free contacts for each selected range, contact rating max. 48 VDC, 0.5 A

Remote range control

For all 5 ranges by means of external potential free contacts

Response time for 90 % FSD

< 3 seconds at 60 Nl/hr air

Accuracy after calibration

Deviation: analogue = ±1 % of span at range 3 to 100 % /

digital indicator = 0.1 vol.% O2. ±2 % of span at range 1 %

Reproducibility

Deviation: analogue = <1 % of span /

digital = ±0.1 vol.% O2

Influence of ambient temperature

No influence up to +45 °C

Influence of barometric pressure

The oxygen reading varies in direct proportion to changes of the barometric pressure

Influence of sample gas flow

Variation of gas flow between 0 to 60 Nl/hr air will cause a difference of < 0.1 vol.% O2

Sample gas inlet pressure

0.01 up to 1 bar g, (PMA 30 required admission pressure for competent flow rate, no pump inside)

Sample gas outlet pressure

Outlet of analyser must discharge freely into atmosphere. option: process pressure compensation PD in range of 0.4 to 1.6 bar absolute

Flow rate of sample gas

Max. 60 Nl/hr air, adjustable with needle valve on the flowmeter 7 to 70 Nl/hr

Temperature of sample gas
