4.1 Piping
Be sure to observe the following precautions when connecting the gas pipe to the OX400.
(1) The connections for both the gas inlet and outlet are Rc1/4 or 1/4NPT. Use the specified
thread and securely connect the gas pipe so that no leakage will occur.
WARNING
When screwing in the pipe, be sure to hold the inlet hexagonal part in place with a wrench or the
like. Not doing so and using a strong force when screwing in the pipe may cause the thread on
the OX400 to rotate, resulting in damage to the internal pipe.
(2) With respect to piping, use a metal pipe. Use of materials such as plastic, vinyl, rubber, and
the like may result in inaccurate measurements due to the transmission of oxygen from the
air and absorption onto the inside surface of the pipe. Particularly with respect to silicon
tube, be careful because due to its large oxygen transmission rate, accurate measurements
cannot be performed in the low concentration range.
(3) Be careful of leakage from the pipe because it may cause measurement errors. Particularly
in the low concentration range, take great care because even though the pressure inside
the pipe is positive, oxygen may flow from the air due to diffusion, resulting in a large error.
(4) Fluctuations of back pressure at the pipe outlet may cause measurement errors, so always
keep the pressure at the atmosphere pressure level as much as possible during operation.
