Page 40: Appendices: Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Theory
Page 40 18. Appendices: Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Theory The sensor used, is the amperometric type of Clark Sensor and is suitable for the measurement of oxygen pressures in the range 0 to 100 cm of mercury. While the sensor actually reads partial pressure of oxygen, the circuit is calibrated to be read in percentage saturation or parts per million (Milligrams/litre). -
Page 41: Sensor Storage
Page 41 18.2 Sensor Storage The Oxygen sensor should be kept moist when not in use to prevent the thin film of electrolyte behind the membrane from drying out. To achieve this, the sensor can be stored with the tip in water. For long term storage of the YSI sensor for several weeks or more, remove the membrane and empty the electrolyte. -
Page 42: Notes On Units Of Dissolved Oxygen
Page 42 18.3 Notes On Units Of Dissolved Oxygen The terms "Oxygen Concentration" and "Oxygen Partial Pressure" frequently give rise to some confusion. Oxygen Concentration is the absolute quantity of oxygen present per unit mass of the liquid. Oxygen Partial Pressure is the oxygen fraction of the total pressure of all of the gases present. -

(a) is achieved AUTOMATICALLY. (b) To provide the mass units (ppM) readout (so popular due to the Winkler process used in the past), the WP-82Y Meter has Solubility Correction via an additional temperature sensor in the sensor. (c) Salinity correction is provided by manual entry of the salinity of the sample. -
Page 44: Velocity Past The Membrane
Page 44 18.5 Velocity Past The Membrane Workers have shown that the relationship between the diffusion current (oxygen current) and the external velocity of the liquid is expotential. Some workers using thicker membranes have shown even less dependence of the diffusion current on liquid velocity. Because of the expotential nature of the relationship, very considerable changes in velocity have to be made before noticing any change in the diffusing current once the flow is sufficiently high. -

Please read service details on our ‘Service’ web page first: http://www.tps.com.au/service.htm TPS Pty Ltd has a reputation for prompt and efficient service. If you feel that this equipment is in need of repair, please re-read the manual. Sometimes, instruments are received for "repair" in perfect working order. - Page 46 Page 46 Please check that the following is enclosed with your equipment: A TPS ‘Service / Return Goods Form’ – see web link below: http://www.tps.com.au/Service/Service%20form_web.pdf Your full name Your company name Your email address or fax number ...
- Page 47 Before the sensors are despatched from TPS, they are fully tested. Therefore the sensor should be already filled, with a correctly fitted and tested membrane when you receive it. This is part of the TPS Quality Control Program. NOTE: During storage and transport after the sensor has been tested by TPS, some bubbles may appear behind the membrane.
- Page 48 The Silver anode will usually turn black when it is poisoned. When the anode is poisoned, the whole sensor is usually rendered unserviceable. TPS may be able to re-furbish the sensor, but this is not certain. 1. Incorrect fitting of the membrane causes poisoning of the sensor.
