What is the detection range of the oxygen alarm?
Publication Date:2023/11/01 As the 1 gas monitoring and alarm device, the oxygen alarm is mainly used to detect the concentration of oxygen in the environment and play an alarm role. It is very suitable for electric power, gas, chemical industry,
Metallurgy, hotels, fire, mines, biopharmaceuticals, rare gas research and other combustible gas use and toxic gas places. However, in the process of using the oxygen alarm, it is very important to choose the appropriate detection range. Do you know what the detection range of the oxygen alarm is? The following is a brief introduction by yi yun tian electronics:

human safety, the oxygen alarm displays the following hazardous concentrations:
1, less than 19.5%VOL
<>
Health Committee occupational terminology, when the volume fraction of oxygen is less than 19.5%, it is in the state of oxygen deficiency.
2,> 23.5%VOL
Oxygen alarm detection range:
The oxygen concentration detection is achieved by detecting the volume ratio of oxygen. The detection range is divided into two ranges, and 0-30% VOL is commonly used in general industry, A small number of industries choose to purchase instruments with a full range of 0-100% VOL. Choosing too large a range will affect the accuracy of the oxygen alarm. Choosing a small range is at least slightly larger than 23% VOL. Therefore, in the gas security industry, the detection range of the oxygen alarm is locked at 0-30% VOL.
under normal circumstances, in the process of realizing alarm work setting, less than 19.2 VOL belongs to the first-level alarm state, and more than 23% VOL belongs to the second-level alarm state. as long as the detection range of oxygen alarm is between 19.2-23% VOL, this means that the oxygen concentration in the field is within a safe range.
therefore, for the oxygen alarm, it should be able to detect and display the oxygen concentration value under various environmental conditions, including under oxygen condition, I .e. 0-19.5%; Under the condition of excess oxygen, I .e. above 23.5; And the normal concentration value, that is, 19.5 to 23.5% range. Taking into account the oxygen state is generally more open space, oxygen partial pressure increment is limited, so generally can choose 0-25% VOL or 0-30% VOL oxygen alarm.
