A method and instrument for measuring differential oxygen concentration between two flowing gas streams

摘要

An apparatus and method for measuring differential oxygen concentration between two flowing gas streams is described. A reference gas and a sample gas in separate gas flow paths are passed, at selected temperature, pressure and flow rate over a respective one of a pair of electrically connected oxygen sensors which produce an output signal proportional to the differential oxygen concentration between the sensors. The output signal may be amplified and recorded by any conventional means. An internal calibration system is also described.
