Factors Influencing Accurate Readings of Oxygen Analyzer
Factors Influencing Accurate Readings Of Oxygen Analyzer
Effects of Temperature
The oxygen analyzer should be preformed specifications throughout the operating temperature range, however, taking measurements during rapid changes in gas temperature should be avoided.
Effects of Humidity
High level(condensing) of humidity can affect the accuracy and reliability of oxygen analyzer, Humidified gas must be avoided to prevent possible damage of the device.
Impact of other gas
Pure oxygen needs to be used in the calibration verification mode. Any other concentration or gas combination will cause the incorrect measurement data of the analyzer.
Effects of Low Flow
DO NOT use the oxygen analyzer to measure the oxygen concentration of a concentrator when flowing at rates lower than its optimal performance as specified by the concentrator manufacturer;
generally 4 LPM or less on concentrators that have a maximum flow of 10 LPM, and 1 LPM or less on concentrators that have a maximum flow of 5 LPM.
