General Requirements 4.1 Engineering Units All dimensions and measurements shall be in the "International System of Units" (SI), and may be followed by the equivalent value in English (conventional) units between brackets. When not critical, the equivalent dimensions may be rounded off to their nearest practical value. 4.2 Environmental Conditions 4.2.1 Temperature Oxygen Analyzers shall operate continuously under the following ambient air temperatures without any degradation of the manufacturer's guaranteed performance:
Indoor Air Conditioned (2) 35C (95F) 10C (50F) Outdoor Sheltered (1)(2)(3) 55C (131F) 0C (32F) Outdoor Unsheltered (2)(3) 65C (149F) 0C (32F)

Maximum Minimum
Notes: 1) 2)

3)

"Sheltered" refers to permanent, ventilated enclosures or buildings, or permanently fixed sunshades with a top and three sides. For instruments which dissipate internal heat and are installed in custom engineered enclosures (e.g., enclosures not included in the original manufacturer's temperature certification), an additional 15C shall be added to the above maximum temperatures. An example, for "indoor air conditioned" installation, the equipment must perform at 35 + 15 = 50C. Similarly, for the "outdoor unsheltered" case, the equipment shall be designed for a maximum operating temperature of 65 + 15 = 80C. For the outdoor installations only, the designer can take credit for forced or passive cooling to eliminate or reduce the 15C heat rise. For example, if vortex coolers are used, the heat removal capacity of the coolers may be subtracted from the

34-SAMSS-512 Oxygen Analyzers

generated heat. No more than 15C reduction in temperature will be given as credit. The designer shall substantiate his claim by providing the support data and calculations.

4.2.2

Contaminants Installations shall be designed for operation in an environment with contaminant levels as defined in the Ambient Air Quality Section of SAES-A-112.

4.2.3

Humidity Indoor humidity design basis shall be 20% to 80% relative humidity. Outdoor design basis shall be 5% to 95% relative humidity (noncondensing).

Technical Requirements Technical requirements, shown below, together with standards cited in the references and with specific information entered on the Instrument Specification Sheet, shall be followed by the Vendor in formulating a quotation or supplying instruments.
Note: Proponent or Contractor or project team shall provide detailed stream composition and process conditions as per Instrument Specification Sheet 8020-512-ENG. Manufacturer or the consultant has to review the data and supply suitable analyzer for the application. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer/Consultant to solicit more information, if required, before submitting proposal. Manufacturer/Consultant has to fill the relevant details of the Oxygen analyzer in the Instrument Specification sheet and submit along with the proposal.

5.1

General Electrical and Electronic Electrical components or devices which are intended for operation in locations classified as hazardous shall comply with the requirements of National Electrical Code, Article 505 and shall be third party certified (labeled) by one of the following: UL, FM, CSA or any recognized European Community authority (e.g., CENELEC EN 50018). When purging systems are used to alter (reduce) the electrical classification of an enclosure, such purging systems shall comply with the requirements of Article 505 of National Electric Code and ANSI/NFPA 496. Instruments shall be suitable for operation in the environmental conditions stated in Section 4 and location specified in 8020-512-ENG. A plainly marked and easily accessible grounding point shall be provided for connection to the grounding system.

Color coding of power source wiring shall follow this format: Live Neutral Ground Black White/Natural Gray Green

Alarm relays shall be solid state, non-incendiary type with isolated contacts and wired to a plainly marked connection terminal block. Sensor control units may be supplied with digital or analog indicators as specified in 8020-512-ENG. Analog indicators shall have linear scales. When conformal coating of printed circuit boards (PCB) is specified, Vendor's standard coating shall be acceptable unless otherwise stated. PCB edge connectors shall be gold plated When a 4 to 20 mA output signal is provided, this signal shall be isolated, suitable for 0 to 600 ohm loads. The output signal shall correspond to the indicated range, with the exception of zero and battery compensation adjustments on portable types, the external adjustments on all oxygen detection instruments shall require a key, tool or password protection to change settings. Multi range instruments shall have an auto ranging feature to permit the indicated range to be changed without the need to re calibrate the instrument. 5.2 Flue Gas Analyzer Flue Gas Oxygen analyzer systems shall use zirconium-Oxide in situ insertion type probes. These in situ probes shall not be used for gasses containing flammable gas or unburnt material. For gas fired boiler applications the probe shall incorporate a flame arrestor. Prolonged exposure to inert gas, causes the zirconium oxide sensors to become "in active (fall asleep) and require many hours of exposure to oxygen before they are activated. For this reason Zirconium Oxide sensors shall not be used under these circumstances. Paramagnetic oxygen analyzers are suitable for oxygen measurement in a background of high inert gas or hydrocarbon. This type of analyzer is also preferred for the measurement of high temperature flue gas where high loading particulate matter is present. Paramagnetic analyzers are also preferred for thermal oxidizer flue gas containing sulfur and ammonium salts, in conjunction with a steam driven aspirator for sample extraction. The analyzer system shall have the following performance specification as a minimum:

Calibration of the analyzer shall be possible without removing or otherwise disturbing the probe. 5.3 Trace Oxygen Analyzer Trace Oxygen analyzers shall measure oxygen concentration in inert gases in all proportions from 10,000 PPM to 0.1 PPM oxygen, or as stated in the specification sheet. The analyzer shall be designed to minimize sensitivity to changes in sample flow rate. It shall be possible to calibrate the analyzer in situ with air. Where air may be an inappropriate reference gas, optional accessories shall be provided to utilize gases other than air. The trace oxygen detection system shall meet the following performance specifications as a minimum: Accuracy Response time (Sensor) 5.4 : : 2% Full scale at constant temperature for range > 10 ppm, 1 ppm for 0-10 ppm range < 60 sec. for range 10 ppm or lower < 30 sec. for range 1000 ppm or higher

Portable oxygen analyzers shall be battery (rechargeable) operated suitable for field use in ANSI/NFPA 70, NEC Class 1 , Zone 1, Group IIB areas unless otherwise stated on the specification sheet. Portable instruments of the sample-draw type shall include the necessary sample pumping mechanism. Continuous duty portable detection instruments with fully charged batteries shall be capable of continuous operation for a period of at least 8 hours without the replacement or recharging of the batteries. A low-battery alarm and indicator shall be provided. Portable detection instruments shall have an internally adjustable set point alarm function. For all portable oxygen detection instruments, it shall be possible to perform daily calibration in the field. 6 Testing and Inspection Minimum inspection requirements are specified in Form 175-345400. Testing shall include verification of analyzer calibration with samples representing full scale and zero values of the measured component. When half-scale values are to be

tested for linearity verification, this requirement shall be indicated on the Instrument Specification Sheet. The background shall comprise components normally existent in the sample of interest. For process analyzers, an 8-hour uninterrupted run using an upscale sample shall be made with the record preserved for the Buyer. If Vendor facilities do not permit 8-hour uninterrupted runs, then tests conducted on two successive days, using the same sample, may be made and used as a check for repeatability. Vendor shall provide evidence of satisfactory Radio frequency Interference (RFI) susceptibility testing of electronic components in accordance with the following criteria: RF sources such as hand-held radio transceivers operating at 5 Watts within the frequency ranges, 50-174 MHz, 406-470 MHz, and 800-870 MHz and held at a distance off 1.0 meters from the equipment shall not cause any malfunction, data corruption, or damage to the equipment."
