Wide range oxygen monitoring in pipes
Metal Flow-Through Cell with Integrated O2 Sensor FTM2-PSt3
In this metal flow-through cell and oxygen sensor stick with PSt3 sensor (max. measurement range 0 - 100 % O2, limit of detection 0.03 % O2) is integrated. The FTM2 has a connector diameter of 1/4" but it can also be installed in pipes with other diameters using the respective adapters. For sensor read-out, an optical fiber is screwed to the sensor stick via SMA connector. The oxygen probes are very robust and long-term stable. The FTM2-PSt3 can be cleaned by CIP (Cleaning in place, + 80 °C and 2 % NaOH) and stand steam sterilization (+ 130 °C, 1.5 atm). The sensor stick can easily be exchanged if necessary.
- Max. measurement range of 0 - 100 % O2, limit of detection 0.03 % O2
- No consumption of oxygen
- Signal independent of flow velocity
- Autoclavable, SIP (+ 130 °C, 1.5 atm) & CIP (+ 80 °C, 2 % NaOH)
