Description of the
oxygen probe
CarboProbe DS
The CarboProbe DS is a laboratory oxygen probe, suitable for measurement of oxygen concentration over the range from pure oxygen down to 10-24 atmospheres at temperatures from 600°C to 1700°C. It consists of a ZrO2 oxygen sensor with an internal thermocouple. All wiring and electrodes are platinum, for the best possible corrosion resistance.
- Supplied with a vacuum sealed, stainless steel M16 extension tube
- This extension tube can easily be fitted into an O-ring seal Accurate enough for research laboratory use, but low in cost
- Read the probes measurement with a hand-held digital meter, for a quick and simple reading.
- Student laboratory experiments – demonstration of the Nernst equation Combustion and pyrolysis research
- Measurement of fuel/air ratios in combustion
- Oxygen fugacity measurements in geological specimens
Works great with our ControX display and control module
This probe is based on our ZrO2 mixed cell.
