OverviewThe document provides detailed specifications and applications for a Total Dissolved Gas (TDG) Sensor used to monitor water quality by measuring gas pressure in water bodies. Supersaturation, a condition where gas pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure, can be harmful to aquatic life, particularly fish.
ApplicationsThe TDG Sensor is applicable in various water environments including fresh, brackish, and marine waters. It is crucial for monitoring conditions that can lead to supersaturation, such as dam spillways, heated discharges from power plants, faulty aquaculture systems, naturally high nitrogen levels, and algae blooms.
