The Z series of oxygen analysers feature
sensors based on zirconium oxide technology.
They have the advantages of fast response
times, excellent accuracy at ppm levels and
a non-depleting sensor for long life. A range
of different configurations and internal sample
systems are available – so we can find the
product that is right for you.
The rack mount design of the Z130 is
ideal for analyser cabinets. For customers
wishing to mount several instruments together,
the 19” rack mount configuration provides
an elegant solution. The Z130 features an
integral sensor, flowmeter and needle valve as
standard. To maintain fast response with long
sample paths a bypass flow sample system
is available as an option. An internal pump
option is available if low flow is an issue and
a constant pressure system is another option.
Not all zirconia sensors are the same.
Hitech Instruments manufacture zirconia
sensors in-house. Careful choice of raw
materials and Hitech’s manufacturing ‘know
how’ result in a fast responding, robust sensor
with excellent specification and a very fast
warm-up time. Different sample systems

are available for applications involving long
sample paths and high pressure. Bespoke
designs are also available according to the
application.
Oxygen is measured in a wide variety
of processes to confirm the presence
or the absence of it. The most common
application is to measure oxygen as the
impurity in other gases, e.g. nitrogen
generators. Oxygen is required in aerobic
processes and situations that require user
intervention, e.g. to ensure that it is safe to
enter a chamber for maintenance work. Some
processes require the absence of oxygen to
be efficient, e.g. furnace atmospheres, others
just require a low level of oxygen for safety
reasons, e.g. inert gas blanketing.
Hitech offer a number of different
solutions for oxygen measurement
dependent on the application. Our technical
sales engineers will be pleased to advise the
system that is right for you.
