Oxygen measurement in a hazardous area.

The PMA50EEX provides fast, accurate and reliable oxygen measurement in a compact wall mounting system.

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 5 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.

Response time for 90 % FSD

< 5 seconds at 60 Nl/hr air

Accuracy after calibration

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

digital = ±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 50 °C

Influence of barometric pressure

The oxygen reading varies in direct proportion to changes of the barometric pressure. no influence from 0.5 to 1.5 bar abs. at PMA 50 EEX/P/PD 1 to 50 with process pressure compensation

Influence of sample gas flow

Variation of gas flow between 0 to 60 Nl/hr air will cause a difference of < 0.2 vol.% O2

Sample gas inlet pressure

0.01 up to 1 bar g, or in case of purging up to 0.5 bar g (PMA 50 EEX required admission pressure for competent flow rate, no pump inside)
