Accurate oxygen measurement is essential for controlling combustion, monitoring emissions, safeguarding industrial processes, and verifying the composition of gas mixtures. However, each application has different requirements in terms of O₂ range, response time, gas composition, and the number of components to be measured.
Fuji Electric's paramagnetic technology is available in several configurations:
This diversity makes it possible to select theanalyser based on the application as a whole, rather than solely on the oxygen concentration to be measured.

A paramagnetic oxygen analyser er continuously measures the concentration of oxygen in a gas mixture by utilizing the magnetic properties of O₂ molecules.
Oxygen is more strongly attracted to a magnetic field than most other gases. The analyser detects the physical effect produced when the sample is exposed to this field and then converts it into an electrical signal proportional to the oxygen concentration.
Depending on the design of the analyser, the paramagnetic measurement of O₂ can be based on:
The technology can thus be used to measure oxygen alone or integrated into a complete multigas analysis system.

When the sampled gas enters the measuring cell, it is exposed to a controlled magnetic field. Oxygen molecules are drawn toward the area where the field is strongest, because their magnetic susceptibility is greater than that of most other gases.
This attraction generates a force, a pressure difference, or gas movement within the cell. Theanalyser detects this change and converts it into a continuous measurement of O₂ concentration.
The measurement process can be summarized as follows:
In a multi-gas an analyser , the same sample also passes through infrared measurement cells. Components such as CO, CO₂, NO, SO₂, and CH₄ are measured using NDIR technology, while oxygen is analyzed separately by the paramagnetic sensor.

Oxygen is paramagnetic because its molecular structure contains unpaired electrons. When placed in a magnetic field, oxygen molecules move toward the area where the field is strongest.
Most common industrial gases have much weaker magnetic properties. Theanalyser can therefore distinguish oxygen from the other components of the gas mixture.
However, certain gases with high magnetic susceptibility—particularly nitrogen monoxide—can still affect the measurement. The complete composition of the gas must therefore be analyzed when selecting and configuring theanalyser.

The ZAJ paramagnetic oxygen analyser is specially designed to provide fast, continuous O₂ measurement. It uses a paramagnetic pressure detection principle combined with a highly sensitive mass flow meter.
Its main advantages are as follows:
The ZAJ analyser is particularly well-suited when oxygen is the only component to be measured and process variations need to be detected quickly.

The ZKJ multi-gas analyser combines dual-beam infrared measurement with an integrated paramagnetic oxygen sensor. It can continuously measure up to five components, including O₂.
Depending on its configuration, it can measure:
The ZKJ analyser is designed for demanding applications requiring low measurement ranges, high stability, and minimal cross-interference. It is particularly suitable for industrial furnaces, boilers, combustion systems, and continuous emissions monitoring systems.
When required by the application, an external zirconia oxygen analyser can also be used in place of the built-in paramagnetic sensor.

The ZPA model is a compact gas analyser designed for installation in a 19-inch rack. It can measure up to five components simultaneously.
NO, SO₂, CO₂, CO, and CH₄ are measured using single-beam infrared technology. Oxygen can be measured using an integrated paramagnetic or electrochemical sensor, or an external zirconia- analyser .
The paramagnetic version is suitable for the following applications:
Available features include automatic calibration, atmospheric pressure compensation, concentration alarms, remote range switching, and RS-485 communication.

The ZRE gas analyser combines a highly sensitive single-beam infrared detector with an integrated paramagnetic oxygen sensor, which is available depending on the configuration.
It can simultaneously measure up to four infrared components, in addition to oxygen:
Its compact design, long-term stability, and automatic calibration features make it particularly well-suited for monitoring emissions from boilers, industrial furnaces, engines, and waste incinerators.
The ZRE model is suitable when multiple pollutant concentrations and the associated reference oxygen value need to be measured by a single instrument.

The marine version of the ZPA is designed to monitor emissions in ship exhaust gases. It combines infrared measurement with various O₂ measurement technologies: electrochemical, paramagnetic, or zirconia.
In its paramagnetic configuration, the analyser can continuously measure oxygen along with NO, SO₂, CO₂, CO, or CH₄.
Its main advantages are:
This solution can be integrated into a system for the continuous measurement of marine emissions.

The ZSVF portable analyser combines an infrared analyser, an oxygen sensor, and a complete sampling unit. Depending on its configuration, oxygen can be measured using either an electrochemical or a paramagnetic sensor.
It can measure up to five of the following components:
With its built-in pump, filters, and flow control system, the analyser ZSVF is suitable for temporary measurements, combustion monitoring, heat treatment furnaces, research applications, and on-site analysis.

The ZSVS is a portable multi- analyser designed to perform spot or temporary measurements directly on site. It combines single-beam NDIR technology for measuring CO₂, CO, and CH₄ with an electrochemical cell for continuous oxygen measurement.
It can measure up to four components simultaneously:
Theanalyser features a built-in pump, filter, and flow meter. Its compact design makes it easy to transport and use during commissioning, process checks, or temporary measurement campaigns.
Its main advantages are:
Unlike the ZAJ, ZKJ, ZPA, ZRE, and ZSVF gas analysers in their paramagnetic configurations, the ZSVS measures oxygen using an electrochemical cell. It is therefore suitable for portable applications where compactness and ease of use take precedence over the sensor’s service life or the measurement range of a paramagnetic oxygen analyser .

Paramagnetic technology measures oxygen based on a physical property of the molecule. It does not rely on a chemical reaction that gradually consumes the sensing element.
This principle enables continuous monitoring while reducing the need to replace consumable electrochemical cells.

Paramagnetic sensors respond quickly to changes in oxygen concentration. The ZAJ paramagnetic oxygen analyser reaches 90% of the measurement value in two seconds or less, excluding the time it takes for the gas to travel through the external sampling line.
The response time of multigas analysers also depends on the number of sensing cells, the sample flow rate, and the design of the sampling system.

One of the main advantages of the Fuji Electric product line is the ability to combine paramagnetic O₂ measurement with NDIR infrared analysis.
A single “ analyser ” can thus provide the oxygen concentration and measure multiple process gases or pollutants. This configuration simplifies integration and allows the O₂ value to be used to correct emission concentrations.

Depending on the analyser selected, paramagnetic technology can cover low oxygen concentrations, the typical combustion control ranges, and concentrations of up to 100% by volume of O₂.
The ZAJ paramagnetic oxygen analyser also supports inverted scales for applications where measurement begins at a high oxygen concentration.

The measurement is based on the stable magnetic properties of oxygen. A properly selected and installed paramagnetic sensor provides a reliable measurement over time with minimal drift.
The absence of a consumable electrochemical reaction also helps maintain consistent performance over a long period of use.

Paramagnetic analysers are largely unaffected by many common industrial gases. They are therefore suitable for complex gas mixtures and certain samples containing combustible components.
However, the gas matrix, potential interferences, sample conditioning, and safety requirements must be evaluated before any installation.
Applications of paramagnetic oxygen analysers include, among others, monitoring combustion efficiency, the purity of medical gases, and food packaging.

Continuous oxygen measurement helps control the air-fuel ratio, limit excess air, and stabilize combustion.
The main applications include:
For processes operating at high temperatures or under pressure, the gas must be extracted and conditioned before it reaches the analyser.

The measured O₂ concentration makes it possible to control combustion conditions and adjust pollutant concentrations in accordance with a regulatory reference oxygen level.
The ZKJ, ZPA, and ZRE multigas analysers can combine paramagnetic oxygen measurement with monitoring of NO, SO₂, CO, or CO₂.

Oxygen concentration affects material oxidation, the furnace atmosphere, and the quality of the finished products. Paramagnetic analysers provide continuous monitoring in:

Paramagnetic O₂ measurement makes it possible to detect unwanted oxygen ingress, monitor process atmospheres, and control the composition of industrial gas mixtures.
For samples containing flammable or corrosive components, the sampling system and safety devices must be designed in accordance with the actual process conditions.

Industrial gas production facilities use oxygen analysers s to monitor separation processes, control oxygen enrichment, and verify the quality of the gases produced.
Configurable measurement ranges allow the measurement to be adapted to both low and high O₂ concentrations.

The ZPA marine can measure oxygen along with several other components present in ship exhaust gases. This measurement aids in emissions monitoring, combustion assessment, and O₂-based correction calculations.

The ZSVF gas analyser is a portable multi-gas solution equipped with its own sampling system. It is suitable for commissioning, process monitoring, laboratory testing, and temporary measurement campaigns.

The first selection criterion concerns the number of components to be measured.
A dedicated " analyser " such as the ZAJ is recommended when:
A multi-gas analyser is preferable when:

The expected minimum and maximum concentrations determine the type of sensor and the measurement range. Combustion monitoring generally requires a different configuration than that used for gas separation or for measuring high oxygen concentrations.

The choice between the analysers ZKJ, ZPA, ZRE, and ZSVF models depends, in particular, on:

Fuji Electric offers solutions for rack-mount, panel-mount, and benchtop installation, as well as marine and portable versions. The mechanical configuration should be selected based on the installation site and intended use.

Dust, moisture, corrosive compounds, gas pressure, and gas temperature can affect the operation of the analysis system.
