Dissolved Oxygen (DO) sensors are essential tools in a variety of industries, particularly those involving water treatment, aquaculture, and environmental applications. These sensors provide vital data regarding the amount of oxygen dissolved in water, which is a key parameter in evaluating the health of aquatic ecosystems or optimizing wastewater treatment processes.
These sensors often incorporate smart technology with on-board data processing capabilities, allowing for real-time, accurate measurements. They are designed for direct immersion in water, with their bodies constructed from durable materials like polypropylene or combinations of plastic and stainless steel. This robust construction enables them to withstand harsh environments and function effectively in high-turbidity or high-viscosity waters.
Another noteworthy feature of these DO sensors is their low maintenance requirement, thanks to elements like thick-wall Teflon membranes that offer high stability, low-drift, and impressive durability. They also include automatic temperature compensation, ensuring that changes in water temperature do not affect the accuracy of the readings.
The communication capabilities of these sensors are typically advanced, using protocols such as MODBUS RTU (RS-485) for output communication. Therefore, their design often includes quick-connect plugs that eliminate the need for hard wiring, making sensor installation and replacement more efficient.
