OxysenZir Sensor Selection: OC-38, OC-39, OC-40

OxysenZir Sensor Selection: OC-38, OC-39, OC-40

Specifying a marine oxygen sensor for nitrogen generator duty usually comes down to one question: how much oxygen must the unit see? The OxysenZir oxygen sensor is supplied in three measuring ranges — 0-1000 ppm, 0-25% and 0-96% oxygen — so the range you choose decides which part number goes on the purchase order. Compare the three models below, then send us your range, thread and cable details for a quotation.

Which OxysenZir sensor fits your nitrogen generator?

If you already know your nitrogen generator's oxygen duty, the answer is short. For trace-oxygen purity monitoring, use the 0-1000 ppm range listed as OC-38. For percent-level readings, use the 0-25% range listed as OC-39. For broad-range or inert-gas duty, use the 0-96% range listed as OC-40. Confirm the range-to-model pairing with our engineers, then check the table below.

OxysenZir oxygen sensor model comparison

Three models, three measuring ranges, three different duties. Read the range column first, then check the duty that matches your nitrogen system.

Model Measuring range Duty it serves Where it is usually fitted
OC-38 0-1000 ppm oxygen Trace-oxygen monitoring where the reading sits in the parts-per-million band Nitrogen generator purity lines on vessels that need a clean, low-oxygen supply
OC-39 0-25% oxygen Percent-level oxygen measurement for generator and process gas Day-to-day monitoring points where the gas is still rich in oxygen
OC-40 0-96% oxygen Broad-range and inert-gas blanket duty Inerting, purging and general gas-blanketing circuits on board

The specification table on the product page lists all three measuring ranges in a single row. Confirm the range-to-model pairing with our engineers before ordering, and include your gas conditions with the enquiry so the part number is matched correctly the first time.

Choose by nitrogen purity target

Start from the purity your nitrogen system has to hold, then follow the branch to the model. These purity bands are engineering guidance for instrument selection — confirm them with our technical team before you commit a part number to the order.

99.9%+ N₂

Trace-oxygen purity monitoring

High-purity nitrogen duty needs a sensor that resolves very small oxygen traces. The 0-1000 ppm oxygen range, listed as OC-38, is the model to start with.

95-99% N₂

Percent-level monitoring

When readings stay inside the percent band, the 0-25% oxygen range listed as OC-39 matches the working span without over-specifying the instrument.

General inerting

Blanket-gas and purge duty

Inerting and purging circuits swing across a wide band. The 0-96% oxygen range listed as OC-40 covers that spread in one instrument.

Fitment and integration on board

Oxygen OxysenZir Sensor for Marine Nitrogen Generators
  • G1/8 inch mechanical thread Check the boss or sampling port on your line against the G1/8 inch thread before ordering, and tell us the mounting position so we can confirm the fit.
  • 100 cm package cable The sensor is supplied with a 100 cm package cable. Measure the route from the sampling point to your junction box and ask us about longer runs if needed.
  • Signal path to control equipment The sensor sends an electrical signal to the ECU; the series is described as easily integrated with control units, alarms and dashboards for real-time readings.
  • Marine-grade housing The housing is built with corrosion-resistant materials and is described as suited to vibration, salt and humidity in offshore environments.

Scenario to specification: match the duty to the data sheet

Work from the job the sensor has to do, not from the part number you last ordered. Each scenario below links an on-board duty to a specific line on the data sheet and to the decision you need to make.

Nitrogen generator purity monitoring

Specification: measuring range 0-1000 ppm oxygen for trace-level work, with a response time under 10 seconds for real-time readings.

Buyer decision: fix the target purity of the generator first, then confirm the matching model and thread with our engineers before the purchase order is raised.

Engine-room control and emissions monitoring

Specification: the sensor monitors oxygen concentration in the gas and sends an electrical signal to the ECU to help adjust the air-fuel ratio and reduce emissions.

Buyer decision: check what your control unit expects to read against the listed output values, and check the 100 cm cable against your panel routing.

Inerting, purging and blanket gas

Specification: 0-96% oxygen range, atmosphere ±10% pressure range, and a marine-grade housing that resists vibration, salt and humidity.

Buyer decision: choose the broad-range model when readings swing across the percent band, and confirm the temperature and humidity envelope of the location first.

Scenario guidance describes how the range and housing details are normally applied; it is not a substitute for the data sheet. Send us the gas conditions and we will confirm the model in writing before you order.
