01Start at the decision limit
An instrument used to release nitrogen to production needs suitable performance near the specified residual-oxygen threshold. Compare accuracy, repeatability, detection capability and environmental limits at that range. A display with many decimal places does not establish measurement capability.
02Consider startup and upset conditions
The sample may contain substantially more oxygen during startup or a fault than during normal production. Ask about over-range behaviour, recovery and protection requirements. Confirm that the instrument can return reliably to the intended measuring range after those conditions.
03Review the installed system
Include sample pressure, flow, materials, response time and calibration method in selection. Check the interface to quality controls and alarms. The correct sensor in an unsuitable sample arrangement can still produce misleading release decisions.
