This ORBmax residual oxygen meter sets a milestone for fast, exact detection of residual oxygen, and with it complete documentation of these parameters. At the same time, the new measuring method results in greater efficiency and higher quality.

The "Optical oxygen measurement via fluorescence extinction" method for welding technology is far superior to the conventional methods, using zirconium sensors: It requires no warmup time whatsoever; reliably, quickly and precisely detects the oxygen share in the gas; unchecked alleged increasing of the measured value due to the formation of ozone is eliminated; the measurement is possible in all gas mixtures without manual switch-over (even with forming gas with a variable percentage of hydrogen).
The exact, fast detection of the oxygen content reduces the otherwise long flooding time of the forming gas. The operator can start the safe welding process considerably earlier. As a result, precious working time is saved and the gas consumption reduced. In addition, ORBmax requires no maintenance of any kind. Calibration once a year in accordance with the standard ISO 9001 is sufficient.
