Laboratory oximeters. Operation and applications

This is an indispensable equipment that can be used inside or outside the laboratory, there are table models and laptops are available, its function consists of  to measure the oxygen dissolved in liquids that can be used both in the field and in the laboratory, applied in treatment stations of effluents and waters in general; also called oxygen meter.

Usually two scales of measurement are used: parts per million and percentage of saturation, and it is important to calculate the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water, since that indicates the quality of the water; it allows us to control and know the levels of pollution of this, since where the low concentrations of this parameter indicates the presence of pollutants.

How a laboratory oximeter works

The KALSTEIN oxygen meter is suitable for monitoring the saturation of dissolved oxygen and% in water, has a polarographic sensor that is the most important part of the apparatus and at the same time the most delicate, since it is a probe consisting of a silver anode coated with a platinum wire, which functions as a cathode, now this sensor is inserted in a protective container filled with the electrolytic solution of potassium chloride, the container is of a permeable material that facilitates the passage of oxygen present in the solution, but avoids the passage of the solution itself.

The meter converts the current flow measurement to the corresponding concentration of dissolved oxygen. It should be noted that the solubility of oxygen depends on many factors, including temperature, atmospheric pressure and salinity of the solution. KALSTEIN oxygen meters are able to automatically compensate for these variables, thus ensuring even more accurate measurements.

Applications of laboratory oximeters

  • In fish farming, where oxygen must be measured to prevent mortality caused by low oxygen levels.
  • At nuclear power plants where oxygen control is required in their heavy water.
  • To measure oxygen in steam boilers, as it can cause corrosions, due to oxygen oxidizer.
  • To avoid corrosion of metals in heating systems, as the percentage of oxygen directly affects the degree of corrosion.
  • They are generally used in various industries such as water, wastewater, chemicals, power plants, life sciences, food and beverages.
  • They are used for the control of aeration, fermentation or inertization.
