FOREWORD
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
1)
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in
the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC
collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on

which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical

reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
4)
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
International Standard IEC 1207-2 has been prepared by sub-committee 65D: Analyzing
equipment, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement and control.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 1207 includes the terminology, definitions, statements and tests that are
specific to oxygen analyzers, which utilise high-temperature electrochemical sensors.
Oxygen analyzers employing high-temperature electrochemical sensors operating at tem-
peratures usually in excess of 600 °C, have a wide range of applications for the measurement
of oxygen in gas samples. Such samples are typically the result of a combustion process.
analyzer, where the sensor is positioned
Two main types of analyzer exist, the in situ
within the process duct work, and the "extractive" analyzer, where the sample is drawn
from the duct via a simple sample system and presented to the sensor.
An analyzer will typically comprise a sensor head, mounted on the process duct, and a
control unit remotely mounted, with interconnecting cable.

EXPRESSION OF PERFORMANCE OF GAS ANALYZERS -
Part 2: Oxygen in gas
(utilizing high-temperature electrochemical sensors)
1 Scope
This part of IEC 1207 applies to all aspects of analyzers using high-temperature electro-
chemical sensors for the measurement of oxygen in gas. It should be used in conjunction
with IEC 1207-1.
It applies to and extractive analyzers and to analyzers installed indoors and out-
in-situ
doors.
The object of this pa rt
is:
to specify the terminology and definitions related to the functional performance of
-
gas analyzers, utilizing a high-temperature electrochemical sensor, for the continuous
measurement of oxygen concentration in a sample of gas;
- to unify methods used in making and verifying statements on the functional perform-
ance of such analyzers;
- to specify what tests should be performed to determine the functional performance
and how such tests should be carried out;
- to provide basic documents to suppo rt the application of standards of quality
assurance ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003.

3 Definitions
3.1 High-temperature electrochemical sensor
The high-temperature electrochemical sensor can be constructed in two basic forms:
Galvanic concentration cell.
a)
b) Ion pump cell.
Most commercially available analyzers employ the
3.1.1 galvanic concentration cell:
galvanic concentration cell consisting of two gas chambers, separated by an oxygen ion
conducting solid electrolyte, and provided with a porous electrode on each side.
NOTES
1 Platinum is frequently used for the electrodes, and the ceramic electrolyte is usually zirconium oxide,
fully or partially stabilized with yttrium oxide, calcium oxide or thorium oxide, which when heated above
600 °C, allows the charge transfer mechanism to be predominantly oxygen ion conduction.
2 When the sensor is brought to a temperature at which the solid electrolyte conducts oxygen ions and
the e.m.f. between the two electrodes is measured, the output will be related to the logarithm of the ratio of
the partial pressures of oxygen at each of the electrodes in accordance with the Nernst equation:

then the potential difference

Thus, provided the oxygen pa
between the two electrodes will enable the unknown oxygen pressure to be determined at the other electrode
(P2).
The Nernstian response of the high-temperature electrochemical ceramic sensor holds over a very wide
range of oxygen partial pressures differences, and the sensor output increases logarithmically with linear
ial pressure at a given temperature. The sensor output is directly proportional to
reduction of the oxygen pa rt
temperature, and hence for quantitative analysis, the temperature of the cell should be closely controlled or
measured, and the necessary corrections applied in equation (1).

3 Zero offset
Theoretically the output e.m.f. of the sensor, when the partial pressures of the sample gas and reference gas
are equal, is zero volts. In some sensors a zero offset is measured and is considered largely due to thermo-
electric effects, and thermal gradients across the electrodes. This offset can be considered theoretically as
an extra constant (asymmetry potential).

bration (i.e. air in both chambers).
If a direct current is made to flow between the electrodes of a cell,
3.1.2 ion pump cell:
with air in one chamber and an inert gas in the other chamber, the current flow will cause
a pumping of oxygen molecules from one side to the other. The action obeys Faraday's
laws and the quantity of oxygen pumped by diffusion into the inert gas is given by:

This is used generally in two basic configurations.
3.1.2.1 Limiting current - a diffusion pinhole limits the rate of arrival of oxygen
molecules at the measuring electrode, and a constant voltage across the electrodes
ensures that all the oxygen arriving at the measuring electrode is pumped to the other
side. The current generated is quantitatively related to the number of oxygen molecules
transferred.
3.1.2.2 Fixed volume - this configuration consists of two sets of electrodes arranged
across a small fixed volume. The first set comprises a concentration cell, the second set
the ion pump. The volume is initially swept of oxygen molecules to a predetermined low
level. Pump action is then initiated until the concentration cell reading shows that the oxy-
gen concentration in the volume and that outside at the sample side, are the same. The
current and time required to achieve this are related to the oxygen concentration of the
sample gas.
