Gas Analyzers - Expression of performance - Part 3: Paramagnetic oxygen analysers
IEC 61207-3:2019 applies to the three main methods for measuring oxygen by its paramagnetic property, which are outlined in the introduction. It considers essential ancillary units and applies to analyzers installed indoors and outdoors. Safety-critical applications can require additional requirements from system and analyzer specifications not covered in this document. This document is intended:
- to specify terminology and definitions related to the functional performance of paramagnetic gas analyzers for the measurement of oxygen in a source gas;
- to unify methods used in making and verifying statements on the functional performance of such analyzers;
- to specify what tests are performed to determine the functional performance and how such tests are carried out;
- to provide basic documents to support the application of internationally recognized quality management standards.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) all references (normative and informative) have been updated, deleted or added to as appropriate;
b) all the terms, descriptions and definitions relating to the document have been updated where appropriate;
c) all references to “errors” have been replaced by “uncertainties” and appropriate updated definitions applied.

INTRODUCTION
Paramagnetic oxygen analyzers respond to the partial pressure of oxygen in the measured
gas, and not the volumetric concentration is then determined by knowledge of the total
pressure, as in many other gas analyzers. Due to this fact, many paramagnetic oxygen
analyzers use pressure
