8864
Zirconia Oxygen Analyser
Rugged Zirconia analyser for ppm or % Oxygen measurements in combustion & inert gas.
The instrument features a special Zirconium Oxide sensor with reference to the solid state (micro-pod technology) eliminating the need for a reference air flow.
The weatherproof and explosion proof 8864 is designed for field installation in the most severe conditions, minimizing the sample conditioning requirements

Any application for ppm or % O2 measurement in inert gas or combustion gas
Sampling System
The 8864 needs an external sampling system able to deliver an almost clean sample gas to the analyser at the proper temperature, pressure and flow rate.
ADEV has a wide experience in process and can provide the 8864 analyser combined with a sample and condition system designed for the specific application requirements. Contact ADEV for details
Measuring Principle
The measuring principle on which the analysis is based is linked to the use of Zirconium oxide which, at high temperatures, can behave like a solid state electrolyte, developing an electromotive force on two electrodes placed in contact with different O2 concentrations (partial pressures), proportional to the temperature in Kelvin degrees (°K) and the logarithm of the ratio between the two pressures PO2’ and PO2” in accordance with Nernst’s well-know ratio:
E = RT / nF (Lg P02’ / P02“)
Where: R = Perfect gas constant (8,31 Joule/degree bulk)
F = Faraday’s constant
T = Absolute temperature in °Kelvin
n = 4
The inner sensing element is a based on a proprietary ADEV technology (micro-pod) and features a solid state reference that completely eliminate the need of a reference air flow, making the instrument very easy and practical to use in field.
