Summary of Test Method4.1 Measurement of oxygen is accomplished by comparingthe electrical signal produced by an unknown sample with thatof a known standard using an oxyge

Oxygen diffuses into thesensor and reacts chemically at the sensing electrode toproduce an electrical current output proportional to the oxygenconcentration in the gas phase. E

Oxygen in the sample isreduced at the cathode and is simultaneously oxidized at theanode. The electrons released at the surface of the anode flowto the cathode surf

The electrochemical reactionsfor a lead anode cell are as follows:O212H2O14e24OH(cathode half reaction)2Pb14OH22Pb

19、er the sensor signal. The signal output may becorrected for the gas sample temperature.7.3 OutputAutomatic digital or range selectable analogdisplay of parts per million or percent oxygen reading byvolume.7.4 Sampling SystemSample gas must be introduced to thesensor of the analyzer. A flow control m
20、etering valve ispositioned upstream of the analyzer to provide a gas sampleflow rate of 0.5 to 2 L/min 1 to 5 SCFM. If necessary, apressure regulator with a metallic diaphragm can be usedupstream of the flow control valve to provide 35 to 200 kPa 5to 30 psig inlet pressure. A leak-free sample pump m
21、ay beused for low pressure sampling. Stainless steel tubing andconnections should be used to minimize any air intrusion intothe sampling system. Gas scrubbers may be necessary toremove interfering gases such as oxides of sulfur, oxides ofnitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide. A suitable coalescing or par-t
22、iculate filter can be used to remove condensation, moisture,and/or particulates to prevent erroneous analysis readings anddamage to the sensor. A meter, such as a rotameter, is used tomonitor the sample gas flow through the analyzer.8. Hazards8.1 Use safe and proper venting if using this method for
23、theanalysis of hazardous or flammable gases. Failure to followmanufacturers instructions for the instrumentation used in thistest method may result in a hazardous condition.8.2 Do not open the sensor. The sensor contains a corrosiveliquid electrolyte that could be harmful if touched or ingested.Refe
24、r to the Material Safety Data Sheet provided by the sensormanufacturer.9. Preparation of Apparatus and Calibration9.1 Zero alibrationIn theory the oxygen sensor producesno signal when exposed to oxygen free sample gas. In reality,expect the sensor to generate an oxygen reading when sam-pling oxygen-
25、free sample gas due to minor leakage in thesample line connections, residual oxygen in the sensorselectrolyte, and tolerances of the electronic components of theanalyzer. Zero calibration is required after a new sensor isinstalled.9.1.1 The sensor is exposed to the sample gas with less than0.1 ppm o
26、xygen. Follow the instrument manufacturers recom-mended inlet sample flow rate and pressure, usually a flow rateof 1 liter per min or 2 SCFH is recommended for optimumperformance.9.1.2 Allow the analyzer output to stabilize. This may takeup several hours if a new sensor has been installed.9.1.3 Foll
27、ow the instrument manufacturers instructions forzero calibration of the instrument.9.2 Span Calibration of InstrumentCertified gas standardscan be obtained from a gas standard vendor. Span calibration isrequired after a new sensor is installed.9.2.1 Flow the gas standard through the analyzer. Thesta
28、ndard should approximate the sample gas to be tested andcontain oxygen levels in the range of interest of the user.9.2.2 Allow the analyzer output to stabilize. This may takeseveral min.9.2.3 Follow the instrument manufacturers instructions forspan calibration of the instrument.10. Conditioning10.1
29、Purge oxygen free or low ppm oxygen gas through theapparatus if it is not to be used immediately after calibration.Allow the display reading to stabilize before disconnecting.This is to minimize the oxygen exposure (reaction) to thesensor during storage or stand-by.11. Procedure11.1 SamplingDue to t
30、he large volume of sample that maybe required for this analysis it is advisable to analyze foroxygen at the sample source such as directly from a gaspipeline or storage vessel.11.2 Blank AnalysisSensor performance and sample sys-tem integrity may be verified by passing low oxygen contentgas across t
31、he sensor. Higher than expected readings may beindicative of sensor failure or sample system leaks.11.3 Sample AnalysisPrior to flowing sample gas to thesensor, establish the flow rate in the sample line, allow sampleto vent to atmosphere long enough to purge the line free of air,then connect the sa
32、mple gas to the sensor. Avoid any leaks inthe tubing that transports the sample to the analyzer and makesure there are no restrictions in the analyzer outlet vent.Permanent sensor damage can occur from backpressure on thesensor. The sample conditions should closely approximate thecalibration conditi
33、ons for maximum accuracy.11.4 The analyzer displays a direct readout of oxygen in thesample. Do not attempt to take a reading until the readoutstabilizes. Standard connections are available for the signalD7607/D7607M 1112output to a data logger or computer data system. Measurementsbelow 10 ppm usual
34、ly require 20 min if the sensor has been inservice at ppm levels for at least two weeks, and 60 min if thesensor is new assuming the zero/purge/sample gas has anoxygen concentration below 1 ppm. Measurements above 100ppm require less than 10 min.11.5 Quality AssuranceThe following quality assurancep
35、rocedures are suggested.11.5.1 Calibration Checkthe primary calibration standardis reanalyzed daily. Results that vary by more than 5% of theaccepted value indicate an analyzer or sampling problem andmay warrant investigation.11.5.2 Secondary Calibration Checksecondary standardsmay be analyzed as a
36、crosscheck to assure primary standardvalidity. Results that vary by more than 10% of the acceptedvalue may indicate a problem with the standard in use.11.5.3 Linearity ChecksKnown concentrations of oxygenat differing levels may be introduced to the sensor for analysis.Deviation from linearity may in
37、dicate sampling system leaks orsensor problems and should be investigated. Acceptable linear-ity limits are determined by the users application.12. Calculation or Interpretation of Results12.1 If a sample scrubber is used for sensor protection frominterfering gases the oxygen concentration should be
38、 correctedas follows:X 5 A/ 1 2 B ! (1)Where:X = corrected oxygen in sampleA = oxygen readingB = Mol Fraction of interfering gases removed by scrubber12.2 Conversion from volume to mass concentration (W) ofoxygen in milligrams per cubic meter at 25 degrees C and 760mm Hg 101.3 kPa is obtained by mul
39、tiplying ppm bymolecular weight and dividing by 24.45 (Molar Volume):W 5 X 32/24.45! (2)Where:W = mass concentration, mg/m3, andX = Oxygen concentration in sample, ppmv13. Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method as deter-mined by the statistical examination of the inter-lab
40、oratory testresults is as follows.13.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between successivetest results obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus under constant operating conditions on identical testmaterial would, in the long run, in the normal and correctoperation of the test method, exceed
41、 the following values byonly one case in twenty. See Table 1.13.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two singleand independent results obtained by different operators work-ing in different laboratories on identical test material would, inthe long run, exceed the following values only one case i
42、ntwenty. (Experimental results to be determined.)13.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material fordetermining the bias, no statement on bias can be made.14.
