Operating Principle
Oxygen measuring concentration in the
atmosphere of a metal treatment industrial furnace allows
through well-known thermodynamic relations, the
measuring of carbon potential
p (C) even when traditional analysis systems
(Dew point and CO2) are no longer reliable
parameters.
The percentage of the dissolved carbon on the surface (% in weight or mole) is a function of:
p C% = f (%CSAT, T(K), p(CO), E(V)) where: %CSAT = Percentage of saturated carbon T(K) = Operating temperature in Kelvin p(CO) = Co partial pressure into an
endothermic gas E (V) = Probe Vdc output
The magnitude of the probe voltage E (V) is dependent on the oxygen concentration in the reference gas (air) and in the atmosphere to analyser according to the following equation:
At constant temperature and reference partial pressure of oxygen, the e.m.f. of the electrochemical cell is function of the only oxygen partial pressure of the gas to analyser F.E.R. probe model 4143 CP is equipped with a zirconia yttria stabilized cell long as the probe itself, without any sealing of different materials thus giving an absolute impervious division of the atmosphere from the reference air. The cell is equipped with thick electrodes. The external tube made in stainless steel allows a maximum working temperature of 1150 °C. The probe is equipped, with .Type K or S thermocouple
It is possible to send to the outside electrode a small quantity of air or other gas to permit the burning of the possible carbon deposition.

4F pO'2 where:
E = Probe Vdc output R = Perfect gas constant (8,314 joule-1 mole-1)
F = Faraday constant (96487 coulomb g equiv.-1)
pO2 = Oxygen partial pressure in the gas reference (usually air 20,95% O2)
pO2" = Oxygen partial pressure in the gas to analyser
T = Operating temperature of the electrochemical cell (in Kelvin)
