    Oxygen Analyzer Used On Board Ships

    Uploaded by

    ibnuhary
    The document discusses the use of handheld oxygen analyzers on ships. It describes how the analyzer works by using a magnetic field and platinum resistance wires to measure the difference in oxygen levels between two chambers and display the oxygen percentage. Maintaining appropriate oxygen levels is important for safety during enclosed space entry and inert gas operations on tankers.
