  • Page 13: Product Overview

    Product overview The PMA1000/PMA1000L oxygen analyzer is specially designed for continuous measure- ment of oxygen concentration in gases. With a dead space of only 2 ml (0.07 fl oz) inside the paramagnetic measuring cell, the response time of the oxygen analyzer is very fast. The PMA1000/PMA1000L can be used for many applications with the exception of hazard- ous areas.

  • Page 15: Measuring Principle Of The Analyzer

    Measuring principle of the analyzer 5.1 Principle of measurement All gases are diamagnetic but just a few gases have a paramagnetic behavior. Oxygen is a paramagnetic gas, which means that oxygen molecules are attracted into a strong mag- netic field. This paramagnetic susceptibility distinguishes oxygen from most other gases. The M&C PMA gas is working according to the magneto-mechanical principle: The PMC uses this paramagnetic characteristic to measure the concentration of oxygen in a gas mixture.

The mirror, which is secured between the spheres at the center of the suspension wire, rotates with the dumbbell.
