Dangerous reactions are possible with organic compounds and other combustible substances. NOTE Oxygen-rich atmospheres (a volume fraction higher than 25 % of oxygen) increase the rate of combustion which can lead to explosive reactions. 4 Purity criteria 4.1 General This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for oxygen used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. NOTE Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not stated in the product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemicals parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials lead(s) to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 4.2 Composition of commercial product Two grades of oxygen exist varying from the manufacturing process:
Grade A for cryogenically derived oxygen, the minimum concentration of oxygen shall be a volume fraction of 99,5 %. Grade B for oxygen manufactured with non cryogenic methods, the minimum concentration of oxygen shall be a volume fraction of 90 %. 4.3 Impurities and main by-products The hydrocarbons content (as Methane Index) shall not exceed a volume fraction of 50 ppm. NOTE Depending on the production route, the product can contain quantities of water, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and other rare gases which do not affect its use in water treatment.

8 4.4 Chemical parameters NOTE For the purpose of this standard, "chemical parameters" are those defined in the EU Directive 98/83/EC of 03 November 1998 (see [2]). Commercial oxygen does not contain significant levels of chemical parameters. 5 Test methods 5.1 Sampling All or part of the gas flow is sent through the analyzer. Sample in a volumetric pipette of a few litres with a positive pressure from 150 kPa to 200 kPa or with an automatic sampler. When sampling gaseous oxygen the following shall apply: − sample lines and ancillary equipment shall be compatible with use with oxygen, be clean, leak tight and have the appropriate pressure rating to deliver the sample safely and without contamination to the analyzer; − the sample taken shall be representative and apparatus shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended operating procedures. NOTE Flow rates to the analyzer can require precise control, following pressure regulation, if automatic flow control devices are not an integral part of the measurement system. 5.2 Analyses 5.2.1 Main product 5.2.1.1 General The most commonly used method of oxygen content measurement is the paramagnetic method. This method has an accuracy of ± 0,01 % volume fraction. 5.2.1.2 Principle Magneto-dynamic oxygen analyzers are based on Faraday's principle of determining the magnetic susceptibility of a gas by measuring the force developed by a strong non-uniform magnetic field on a diamagnetic test body suspended in the sample gas. The test body of all measuring cells in paramagnetic oxygen analyzers consists of two nitrogen-filled quartz spheres arranged in the form of a dumb-bell, as shown in Figure 1. A single turn of fine platinum wire (the feedback coil) is secured in place around the dumb-bell. A rugged, taut band pla
