High-temperature electrochemical sensors

Sodium level in liquid metals

NaOH vapour level in gas-fired furnaces

NOx level in exhaust gases

NOx sensor probe
Representative applicationsTemperature range
Sodium sensorMeasurement of sodium modifier in aluminium casting alloys700-900°C
NaOH sensorMeasurement of sodium oxide vapour in gas-fired glass furnace or coal-fired flue gas1200-1400°C
NOx sensorMeasurement of NO2 in gas or diesel engine exhaust200-500°C

Immersion of the probe in the gas or liquid metal produces a voltage which can be measured across the sensor’s terminals using a standard laboratory voltmeter. The temperature-compensated voltage output provides an accurate measurement of concentration.

probe response
