Many industrial processes depend on maintaining precise oxygen concentrations within enclosed or controlled environments. Whether preserving product quality, preventing oxidation, reducing fire risks, or ensuring process stability, accurate oxygen monitoring is essential for safe and efficient operation.
In this video, discover how SST Sensing’s zirconia oxygen sensors provide accurate, real-time oxygen measurement for a wide range of controlled atmosphere applications. Using advanced zirconium dioxide (zirconia) sensing technology, these sensors continuously monitor oxygen levels to help engineers maintain stable atmospheric conditions, improve process control, and protect valuable assets.
SST’s zirconia oxygen sensors feature non-depleting sensing technology, require no reference gas, and can be calibrated using fresh air or a known calibration gas. Available with integrated electronics or as standalone sensors, they offer reliable performance across a wide oxygen measurement range and can be customised to meet specific application requirements.
Typical applications include:
- Controlled atmosphere shipping containers (reefers)
- Modified atmosphere processing
- Fire prevention and oxygen reduction systems
- Document and archive preservation
- Gas storage and handling systems
- Industrial inerting processes
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Whether preserving perishable goods, protecting valuable assets, or maintaining critical process conditions, SST Sensing’s zirconia oxygen sensors provide a robust, long-life solution for dependable oxygen monitoring in controlled atmosphere environments.
