Super sensitive zirconia o2 sensor testing  

Designed for high-sensitivity testing, all ZR800 oxygen analyzers feature precision zirconium dioxide (zirconia) sensors—delivering the most accurate oxygen detection available.

The oxygen detection cell is a high purity, high density, stabilized zirconia ceramic. The oxygen sensor produces a voltage signal relative to the oxygen concentration of the sample gas stream. The cell’s logarithmic output is converted and linearized by a high speed microprocessor, providing a direct, stable digital readout on the instrument’s LED display.

The Science Behind Zirconia Oxygen Detection

The oxygen analyzer’s conventional zirconium oxide cell consists of a zirconium oxide ceramic tube plated with porous platinum electrodes on its inner and outer surfaces. As the oxygen sensor is heated above 1112ºF, it becomes permeable to oxygen ions (O2) with vacancies in its crystal lattice structure permitting their mobility.

Because of this, the oxygen sensor becomes an oxygen ion conducting electrolyte. The electrodes provide a catalytic surface for the change in oxygen molecules, O2, to oxygen ions, and oxygen ions to oxygen molecules.   

Oxygen molecules on the high concentration reference gas side of the oxygen analyzer’s cell gain electrons to become ions which enter the electrolyte. Simultaneously, at the inner electrode, oxygen ions lose electrons and become released from the surface as oxygen molecules. 

When the oxygen concentration differs on each side of the sensor, oxygen ions migrate from the high concentration side to the low concentration side. This ion flow creates an electronic imbalance resulting in a DC voltage across the electrodes. This voltage is a function of the sensor temperature and the ratio of oxygen partial pressures (concentrations) on each side of the oxygen sensor.

Customer Success Story

Accurate oxygen level monitoring needed → Adopted Systech EC913 Process Oxygen Analyzer → Waste reduced, efficiency increased ✓

The Problem

Sunshine Minting Inc. – a leading manufacturer of metal and base metal mint products – was in need of a process oxygen analyzer to ensure the perfect finish for a wealth of highly important customers. Specifically, they were searching for a solution to conduct oxygen detection in heat treating/annealing furnace atmosphere when it comes to the manufacturing of precious and non-precious metal coins. 

The Problem

Concentrations as low as 1,000 ppm can cause oxidation of certain metals at high temperature – and this can lead to cosmetic flaws. For example, the coin could result in a dull finish. That’s why we recommended our Systech EC900 Oxygen Process Analyzer – this monitors any oxygen (air) intrusion and ensures that any leaks can be blocked or plugged. 

The Result

A spokesperson said, “The Systech O2 sensor has worked great and found 2 separate points of O2 intrusion in the Hayes furnace as well as proving to the annealing supervisors and operators that certain procedures were introducing O2 into all the furnaces. Installing the EC913 has resulted in savings of 800 cubic feet per hour of nitrogen on the Hayes alone.
