The Ultra Tough Dissolved Oxygen smart sensors have proven themselves in plants throughout the world to offer industry-leading stability and measurement accuracy in harsh industrial applications. They are available in both galvanic and optical technologies availing them to a wide variety of applications. Made from tough thermoset plastics and unique sensing element technologies they can operate in environments where most sensors will fail. The Smart onboard technology and inbuilt diagnostic capabilities make calibration and sensor management for Dissolved Oxygen measurement easier than ever before.
The Ultra Tough series of Dissolved Oxygen Galvanic Smart sensors are an excellent choice for most industrial applications. The sensor probe is very rugged, easy to use and a proven solution for measurements for tough industrial, municipal, environmental and aquaculture and for other difficult service condition applications. It provides extremely high stability, with up to one year between calibrations in clean water and the membrane lasting up to five years.

Specifications
Sensor name | ULTRA TOUGH Dissolved Oxygen Galvanic Smart Sensor | ||
Measuring type | Dissolved Oxygen | ||
Sensor installation types | Immersion (IMR), Fully Submersible (SUB), Twist Lock Inline (TWL), Inline Sanitary & Hot Tap (SAN) | ||
Output types | Direct Smart Sensor Technology (DSS). This open-source digital signal output (Modbus RTU) is compatible with a wide range of devices that can accept a Modbus signal*. | ||
Pressure range | Typical inline installations are 10 psig or less; Submersible to 50 meters (165 feet) | ||
Temperature range | -5 to +65°C (+23 to +149°F) | ||
Body material | RYTON (Poly-Phenylene-Sulfone, PPS) | ||
membrane material | DELRIN (Polyoxymethylene, POM) | ||
Concentration range standard | 0 to 150 ppm or 0 to 400% saturation is the standard full range | ||
Concentration range special | 0.0 to 60.0 ppm or 0 to 600% saturation ranges available as a special order option | ||
Resolution | 0.01mV and 0.01 ppm absolute anywhere in the range | ||
Lowest displayed limit of detection | 0.01 ppm (Recommended for applications that are typically 0.10ppm or higher) | ||
Cable length | 6m (12m optional) | ||
Connection | Quick Connect Plug - 4PIN (NEMA 6P) | ||
Typical applications | Industrial and mining abrasive slurries as well as any solution with high turbidity. Ideal for high sulfide containing media since the ULTRA TOUGH DSS sensor is insensitive to hydrogen sulfide gas. Any measurement where rugged process conditions may exist. | ||
Sample flow requirements | Continuous flow, Minimum 1cm per second for stable readings | ||
Specifications | Membrane covered galvanic cell generates an internally temperature compensated mV signal linear to dissolved oxygen in air or liquid. Typical response is 10 to 40 mV per ppm as is determined from dry in air slope (span) calibration. | ||
Analyser/Interface | Compatible with all Turtle Tough Smart DSS analysers | ||
Special features | Corrects for temperature, pressure and salinity effects on % saturation incalibration and measurement modes | ||
Storage | Keep at room temperature with a closed protector cap, filled with a storage solution in an upright position | ||
Warranty | 12 month conditional warranty. Go to turtletoughsensors.com/warranty-returns |
