Portable oxygen measurement.

When making spot checks with portable systems, accuracy and speed of response are key parameters. The PMA10 and PMA10S provide fast, accurate, and reliable oxygen measurement in a lightweight portable device.

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. See details of the PMA10 and PMA10S by selecting the "Versions" tab for the most suitable unit for your application.

Datasheet for portable oxygen meter PMA10

The PMA 10 provides the standard ranges of

  • 0 to 1%
  • 0 to 3%
  • 0 to 10%
  • 0 to 30%
  • and 0 to 100%
PMA10S

PMA10S

Datasheet for portable oxygen meter PMA10S

The PMA10S may be used for all the normal ranges of the PMA10, and has an electronic zero suppression function when measuring close to 100% O2 in oxygen purity measurements.

Oxygen purity measurements can only be made discontinuously. The measuring accuracy of
the analyser can be maintained when calibration of the instrument with a certified gas takes place before the measurement procedure. This avoids the influence of ambient temperature and pressure changes. A measurement of 1 vol.% can be easily realized whilst the maximum value remains at 100 vol.%.
