The Integral Oxygen Indicator incorporates many of the features of
the popular and more expensive OXY-2 with two distinct advantages: it is
hand-held and battery-powered.
The Integral incorporates a maintenance-free, non-depleting ceramic sensor,
which can accurately measure rest oxygen levels as small as 1ppm (part per
million) volume. Oxygen indicators with readout capabilities of only 0.1%
(1000ppm) or 0.01% (100ppm) are not suitable for the welding industry as
most precision welding is done below 70ppm. This ceramic sensor is
encased in a robust housing and is designed for job site as well as clean
The Integral is designed to process the output from an oxygen sensor made
of stabilized zirconium oxide. This ceramic material, (also known as a solid
electrolyte) is ideally suited to high-temperatures like those used as an
oxygen ion conductor. Such ion conductors whose temperature range is
dependent on the composition of the material, possess the capability to fill
empty spaces in their crystal structure with oxygen ions. The oxygen ions
attach themselves to conductive platinum surfaces. The degree of oxygen
concentration in gas determines the degree of oxygen activity and thus, the
The Integral sensor consists of a solid electrolyte, which is exposed to gas
on both sides. One side is in contact with a reference gas: - air - the other
with the - gas - to be measured. Using both heated and unheated sensors a
computation is done to give an accurate reading.
The Integral is a maintenance-free, non-depleting oxygen indicator with an
operating range of 999ppm to 1ppm. This unit incorporates an internal pump
and is designed for measuring rest oxygen in inert gases such as argon. Using
the supplied battery charging station, this unit can be used up to 4 hours before
With no maintenance -or- calibration needed, the Integral is the premium
choice in hand-held, battery-powered oxygen analyzers.
