What is BS EN IEC 61207-3 - Paramagnetic oxygen analysers about?
BS EN IEC 61207-3 is the third part of the multi-series standard that is applicable to gas analyzers. It specifies the paramagnetic oxygen analyser’s performance to measure industrial and medical applications, where high background levels of hydrocarbons or moisture may be present.
BS EN IEC 61207-3 applies to the three main methods for measuring oxygen by its paramagnetic property, which is outlined in the introduction. It considers essential ancillary units and applies to analyzers installed indoors and outdoors.
Note-
Analyzer specifications are not covered in BS EN IEC 61207-3.
Who is BS EN IEC 61207-3 - Paramagnetic oxygen analysers for?
BS EN IEC 61207-3 on paramagnetic oxygen analysers is useful for: Wide range of:
- Chemical industry
- Testing laboratories
- Hospitals
- Paramagnetic oxygen analysers manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61207-3 - Paramagnetic oxygen analysers?
Paramagnetic oxygen analyzers respond to the partial pressure of oxygen in the measured gas and the volumetric concentration is then determined by knowledge of the total pressure, as in many other gas analyzers.
BS EN IEC 61207-3 intends:
- The terminology and definitions related to the functional performance of gas analyzers, utilizing a high-temperature electrochemical sensor this help you for the continuous measurement of oxygen concentration in a sample of gas
- Methods used for making and verifying statements on the functional performance
- What tests are performed that will help you to determine the functional performance and how such tests are carried out
- Basic document which helps you to support the application of internationally recognized quality management standards.
By adapting BS EN IEC 61207-3 methods like automatic null balance, thermomagnetic or magnetic wind and differential pressure or Quincke you can measure the sample gas that is likely to condense at a lower temperature can be analyzed.
