Understanding Oxygen Measurement Lutron DO-5510 Professional Oxygen Meter

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Lutron DO-5510 Professional Oxygen Meter

Dissolved oxygen is the amount of gaseous oxygen (O2) dissolved in water, measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L). This critical parameter indicates water quality and ability to support aquatic life:

• 0-2 mg/L: Insufficient for most aquatic organisms; severe hypoxia
• 2-4 mg/L: Stressful to most aquatic species
• 4-7 mg/L: Acceptable for many aquatic organisms
• 7-11 mg/L: Optimal for most aquatic species
• >11 mg/L: Super-saturated conditions (may occur in highly aerated waters)

Oxygen in Air (O2) Lutron DO-5510 Professional Oxygen Meter

The percentage of oxygen in air is another important measurement, particularly for certain industrial and environmental applications. Normal atmospheric oxygen is approximately 20.9% at sea level but can vary with altitude and in confined spaces.

Advanced Feature Detail

Environmental Compensation Lutron DO-5510 Professional Oxygen Meter

The DO-5510 features two important environmental compensation functions:

• Salt Compensation (0-39%) - Salinity affects oxygen solubility in water. The salt compensation feature allows accurate readings in brackish water, seawater, and other saline environments by adjusting calculations based on salt concentration.
• Altitude Compensation (0-3900m) - Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, affecting oxygen saturation levels. The altitude compensation feature ensures accurate readings at various elevations from sea level to high mountain locations.

Polarographic Measurement Technology Lutron DO-5510 Professional Oxygen Meter

The DO-5510 utilizes polarographic sensor technology, which offers several advantages:

• Measurement Principle - Oxygen diffuses through a permeable membrane and is reduced at a cathode, generating a current proportional to oxygen concentration
• Stability - Provides reliable readings in various environmental conditions
• BOD Compatibility - Probe head designed to connect with standard BOD bottles for laboratory testing
• Temperature Integration - Built-in temperature sensor allows automatic compensation for temperature effects on oxygen solubility
