Factors Influencing the Stability of Polarographic Oxygen Sensors

  • Conference paper
Polarographic Oxygen Sensors

Abstract

An ideal polarographic oxygen sensor (POS) exhibits a time-independent relationship between the current it delivers, throughout its specified operating temperature range, and the activity of oxygen contacting its membrane. All applications of POS require stability in some measure, and long-term monitoring applications demand stability over periods up to 1 year.
