The Model 430 ozone analyzer measures ozone using UV absorption to calculate the concentration of ozone flowing through the sample path. The Model 430 uses a mercury lamp constructed to emit UV light at 254nm wavelength. This light shines down a hollow quartz tube that is alternately filled with sample gas, then filled with gas scrubbed to remove ozone in order to achieve a stable and accurate measurement.
