DEVICE FOR CALIBRATING ELECTROCHEMICAL DISSOLVED OXYGEN SENSORS

Sensor calibration for dissolved gas is a critical and necessary step to ensure consistent sensor response over time and under different conditions. In this work, we describe a 3D printed device that facilitates the calibration of gas sensors. The device effectively maintained gas concentration in the solution for at least 2 h. Analytical curves were constructed in the pH range of 2 to 12, yielding determination coefficients surpassing 0.98. The chosen method proved suitable for the calibration of the sensors. Furthermore, using accurate and reliable reference sensors contributed to obtaining precise and trustworthy measurements.
