Applications
The measuring devices and probes of the company ZIROX were developed for the requirements of the most different applications.
In addition to the series products, special customized systems are realized.
A solid electrolyte cell based on yttria-stabilized zirconia forms the core of the oxygen analyzer.
For special applications it is possible to equip our instruments with measuring cells which have a metal/metal oxide reference electrode ("solid state reference"). This reference electrode is particularly advantageous when no reference air supply is possible.
Important applications are:
- Firing optimization of combustion plants
- Quality control of porcelain and ceramic firings
- Monitoring of protective and forming gases for welding and soldering technology
- Quality control in float glass production
- Monitoring of residual oxygen in food industry
- Monitoring of heat treatment processes (e.g. annealing and sintering)
- Optimization of surface treatment processes (carburizing, nitriding, nitrocarburizing)
- Control of vacuum processes (PVD, sputtering, plasma nitriding)
- Test gas generator for laboratory equipment (carrier gas adjustment by solid state coulometry)
- Control of industrial plasma processes
