6 Bases for measurement

6.1 Oxygen sensor

6.1.1 Explanation

The oxygen sensor is an active sensor. It consists of a platinum cathode, a lead anode and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an electrolyte. If oxygen is present, it is reduced on the platinum cathode and the sensor delivers a signal. If no oxygen is present, no signal is delivered. The anode is consumed by the oxygen measurement. The sensor ages. Furthermore, the sensor loses water through the permeable membrane, in par­ticular, when it is stored in dry air. Therefore, it should be checked and maintained regularly and replaced as necessary.
DANGER
Potassium hydroxide!
The electrode contains potassium hydroxide. This causes burns. All contact with the skin, clothing and eyes should be avoided. Nevertheless, should contact occur, take the following measures.
– Eyes: Flush with flowing water for at least 15 minutes, seek medical attention!
– Skin: Wash with large amounts of water for several minutes!
– Clothing: Remove immediately!
– If swallowed: Drink large amounts of water, do not induce vomiting and seek med-
ical attention!
NOTE
Protective goggles must be worn for all of the following activities!
NOTE
Protective gloves must be worn for all of the following activities!
NOTE
Always store the oxygen sensor damp. It should always be stored in a storage bottle filled with water or in a container filled with water. After storage for an extended period, any potential deposit layers, such as algae, must be cleaned off of the membrane with a soft paper towel prior to measurement.

6.1.2 Design

Platinum electrode
Storage bottle
Membrane head
Refill opening
If oxygen is present, it is reduced on the platinum electrode and the sensor delivers a signal. Soiling on the platinum electrode or between the membrane and electrode can influence the measurement.
The storage bottle is provided to keep the membrane moist. The service life of the sensor is extended as a result. Distilled or deionised water is in the storage bottle; do not add any other liquids!
The membrane head is covered with a thin plastic membrane. Faulty measurements will occur if the membrane is damaged or there are large air bubbles or even an air bubble ring on the membrane. This can also be the cause if a sensor can no longer be calibrated. The GWOK 02 membrane head is a spare part and can be re-ordered sep­arately.
Electrolyte must be filled or added for the initial commissioning of a sensor which is delivered dry, when performing maintenance or after use at high temperatures.

6.1.3 Service life

The sensor signal deteriorates relatively quickly at the end of the service life of the sensors. The electrode evaluation in %, therefore, can only be used as a guide value. A value of 70% does not mean that exactly 70% of the service life is still available, rather that the electrode signal has 70% of a comparison signal.
NOTE
The sensor evaluation is updated by the measuring device after a successfully per­formed calibration of the oxygen sensor.
The nominal service life can be reduced significantly due to use. Influential factors in­clude:
– Storage / operating temperature
14 / 29 B-H86.0.21.DB214-1.0
– Contamination of the measured water
DO-400 Bases for measurement | 6
– Mechanical stress of the sensor membrane
– Storage in dry air
– Continuous use in elevated carbon dioxide concentrations

6.1.4 Operating position

The oxygen sensor should be arranged vertically upwards with the connecting cable. A slight angle of inclination does not impair the measurement.

6.1.5 Measurement accuracy

The measurement accuracy can be impaired by:
– An inadequate flow below the necessary value of approx. 30cm/sec.
– The water temperature and sensor temperature must be the same. The most ac-
curate measurements are provided when the measuring temperature is calibrated.

6.1.6 Residue

Visible residue collecting as a reaction product in the interior of the membrane cap on the lead-oxide lead anode is red or brown from reaction with oxygen and lead carbon­ate and is white from reaction with carbon dioxide. These substances can collect on the membrane, but do not normally impair the measuring function and can be mostly removed in the course of maintenance of the sensor. Prior to screwing on the mem­brane cap, they should be removed as far as possible in order to prevent particles from being trapped between the membrane and the platinum cup. A rapid or excess­ive formation of lead carbonate after commissioning is an indication of air in the sensor. This is usually due to incomplete filling or a leak due to improper fitting of the cap / fill screw or membrane leak.

6.2 Instructions for oxygen measurement

The following must be observed when measuring dissolved oxygen:
– The storage bottle must be removed before the measurement.
– The sensor must have been calibrated.
– The sensor and the liquid to be measured must have the same temperature. The
temperatures of the two must match.
– The sensor must be immersed at least 3 cm into the liquid to be measured.
– A flow speed of at least approx. 30 cm/sec is necessary for exact measurements.
Either stir continuously or use an appropriate stirring device
– The measurement is sensitive to jarring! Therefore, make sure that the container
is not struck with the sensor while stirring, because this can significantly impair the measured value.
– The oxygen partial pressure, oxygen concentration in mg/l and oxygen saturation
in % are calculated from the sensor signal and temperature. In accordance with DIN38408-C22, the measurement is relative to water-vapour-saturated air.

6.2.1 Salinity correction

With increasing salinity SAL, which is the value for the salt content in the water, the sol­ubility of oxygen in water decreases, i.e. with the same oxygen partial pressure, fewer mg of oxygen are dissolved per litre of water. To determine this oxygen concentration,
therefore, the salinity of the medium must be entered first; see Configuring parameters of the configuration menu [}p.22]. A salinity correction is not necessary in freshwa-
B-H86.0.21.DB214-1.0 15 / 29
6 | Bases for measurement DO-400
ter; the value is 0. A salinity of approx. 35 PSU is normal for sea water. The salinity correction is adjusted to aqueous media having a chemical composition corresponding to sea water. The International Oceanographic Tables (IOT) are used as a basis for the correction.

6.2.2 Environmental pressure, water depth and air pressure

The environmental pressure, water depth and air pressure play an important role at the place of measurement for the following points:
– Calculation of oxygen saturation in % SAT. Clean water can achieve 100 % satura-
tion in air. There must be no oxygen-depleting processes, such as biological de­caying processes, chemical effects or oxygen enhancing processes, such as ex­cessive ventilation or photosynthesis. This could result in an oversaturation above 100%.
– Calculation of the oxygen concentration in mg/l
– The valuation of calibration
Adjusting the pressure parameter on the product is recommended prior to calibration. In the scope of measuring accuracy, specifying the current air pressure in the region based on meteorological data or the standard pressure based on sea level is suffi­cient.
For example:
0 m above NN: 1013 hPa
300 m above NN: 978 hPa
600 m above NN: 943 hPa
1000m above NN: 899 hPa

Prerequisite
Instruction

6.3 Commissioning, filling and maintenance of the sensor

The sensor is delivered dry. Therefore, the sensor is well-suited for storage. The sensor must be filled in good time before the measurement. A wait time of approx. 2 hours after filling should be planned in order to allow the sensor to stabilise. Commis­sioning with initial filling, filling and maintenance of the sensor are explained in the fol­lowing chapter.
– Protective goggles
– Protective gloves
– A suitable screwdriver
– Pipette
– Household towel
– KOH electrolyte
– A spare GWOK 02 membrane head, if applicable
1. Unscrew the membrane head.
2. Unscrew the seal screw from the refill opening.
NOTE
If the sensor was already filled and deposits have formed, it should be cleaned with KOH via the fill opening or removed. Loose residue can be rinsed out in the process. The platinum cup on the front of the membrane must be clean. Remove any soiling or electrolyte solution with a paper towel.

Outcome of an action
DO-400 Bases for measurement | 6
3. Fill the pipette with the KOH electrolyte and initially fill the membrane head to ¾ full. Rinse off the excess electrolyte.
4. Slowly fill the sensor via the fill opening. In the process, tilt the sensor from side to side and tap the shaft to force out air bubbles. The sensor holds approximately 5 ml. If air bubbles no longer appear and the refill opening is filled up to the rim with KOH, screw the in the seal screw again.
5. Rinse off excess KOH and screw the sensor on with the membrane head. In the process, if there are any recognisable air bubbles under the membrane, KOH must be added.
6. After filling, the sensor should rest for 2 hours before a calibration is started.
The sensor has now been refilled. A sensor evaluation during the calibration should produce a result of 100%.
NOTE
Should it no longer be possible to calibrate the sensor or it only delivers unstable measurements, it must be maintained and/or the membrane head must be replaced
