SERVOPRO Servomex 4900 Multigas

Paramagnetic – an innovative solution for percentage oxygen

Servomex pioneered the use of Paramagnetic sensing technology, and it remains a proven, trusted cornerstone of our oxygen (O2) analysis products. Used by many of our industrial, portable and multi-gas analyzers, it delivers fast and reliable measurements of percentage O2 concentrations.

Our groundbreaking magnetodynamic Paramagnetic technology provides fast, accurate and sensitive measurements of percentage levels of O2.

The Paramagnetic cell consists of two nitrogen-filled glass spheres, mounted within a magnetic field, on a rotating suspension, with a centrally-placed mirror.

Light shines on the mirror and is reflected onto a pair of photocells. O2 is naturally Paramagnetic, so is attracted to the magnetic field, displacing the glass spheres and causing suspension rotation, which is detected by the photocells.

Current is applied through a feedback coil present in the magnetic field to provide sufficient torque to return the suspension to its original position. The magnitude of this current is directly proportional to the O2 present in the sample gas mixture.

Unlike electrochemical sensing technologies, a Paramagnetic cell never needs changing and its performance never deteriorates over time, reducing ongoing maintenance requirements and delivering a long operational life.

Related and alternative technologies

Paramagnetic sensing can be implemented alongside Infrared and Gfx sensing in key industrial processes such as ASU and CEMS applications. It can be affected by significant levels of movement and vibration, and also requires careful sample conditioning to protect the sensor and ensure an accurate measurement.

Key applications

Oxidation control reactions

EO, PTA and EDC manufacturing

Industrial and medical gas production

Medical/patient monitoring

Key benefits

Fast, accurate measurements specific to O2
