    O2,meas.gas in the measuring gas in Pa. The sensor of the SGM7 is based on the conductivity of oxide ions in a special ceramic substance (zirconium dioxide) with stabilizing additions. The conductivity of these oxide ions increases exponentially with the temperature and reaches a sufficiently high temperature above 600°C.

    Oxygen Monitor SGM7 4 Functional description In reducing gas compounds, the oxygen partial pressure is inversely proportional to the temperature. For converting the measured value at the measuring temperature into other temperatures special thermodynamic equations are required. Based on the assumption that the total pressures of the gases are almost...

    6 Composition of the oxygen monitor SGM7 General composition 6.1.1 General overview The SGM7 is a transportable device. The general composition of the SGM7 is shown in fig. 1. Fig. 1: General composition of the SGM7 The measuring gas gets into the sensor by means of little overpressure at the inlet or the optional pump ingests the measuring gas.
  • Page 15: Construction Principle Of The Solid Electrolyte Sensor

    A thermocouple (2/5) inside the measuring cell determines the actual electrode temperature. A regulator ensures a constant temperature. The heated measuring cell produces thermal energy. Therefore, the SGM7 must not be covered. HB_SGM7_eng.docx...

    A waiting time of about 2 hours before switching-on must be considered. NOTE 1. Install the SGM7 in the favored place (see chapter 7.1). 2. Connect point of measurement and places of gas inlet and outlet of the SGM7. Pay attention to leak-tightness.
  • Page 20 Silicone can cause measuring inaccuracies because of its oxygen permeability. Therefore, the manufacturer advises against a usage. NOTE The measuring gas can also flow through the SGM7 when it is off. For using Swagelok®-fittings please note the manufacturer’s advice in the appendix of this manual!
