In many technological processes under protective or inert gases, oxygen traces are disadvantageous for the product properties.
Precondition for detection and prevention of problems is the fast and precise measurement of oxygen and the determination of the
reducing force of inert gases respectively. Due to the increasing adoption of a quality management system (e.g. ISO 9000),
a constant monitoring and documentation of quality parameters becomes more important.
The SGM5 provides various options for process optimization (soldering and welding processes, heat treatment of metallic surfaces,
microelectronic production, food packing technology). For the monitoring of reducing gases, further parameters
(redox-quotient, air factor λ, H2O/H2-ratio or CO2/CO-ratio) can be calculated
by special mathematical methods.
