Oxygen Analyzers
XTP Series
Oxygen Analyzers in Safe or Hazardous Areas
A range of linear and stable thermo-paramagnetic analyzers for measurement of oxygen in a
variety of applications with background gases such as Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Methane and
Hydrogen. The 316 stainless-steel sensor is housed in either a wall-mounted IP55 case suitable
for indoor use (XTP501) or a rugged IP66 casing (XTP601), making it suitable for a wide range of
applications. The XTP601 analyzer can be supplied with flame arrestors making it explosion-proof
and suitable for use with flammable gases and/or installation in hazardous areas.
