<p>There is described herein a technique for utilizing an oxygen ion conductive solid electrolyte device in a pumping mode to measure the oxygen and oxygen containing constituents of a gas or liquid. The application of an initial potential to the solid electrolyte device effectively removes the free oxygen present in the gas or liquid while the application of an increased potential functions to disassociate oxygen from the oxygen containing constituents and provide an indication of the oxygen containing constituent in terms of the disassociated oxygen.</p> |
