Oxygen Probes & Air reference Panel
The AP1 In-Situ Carbon probe, one of the Series AP probes, is a direct and continuous carbon potential probe. Its unique patented design features a cylinder of special zirconium oxide formulation, welded into the end of an alumina tube by means of an eutectic welding process. The resultant homogenous structure provides the most rugged element design. The superstructure is a high temperature special alloy with a flow through tip design to minimise soot collection. Internal connections are protected by a high quality connecting head. External connections are made with a quick disconnect plug. The probe can measure very low oxygen partial pressures with extreme accuracy and repeatability. It will control furnace atmospheres and generator gas supplies over the full range of carburising hardening applications.

Operation
The AP1 Probe is suitable for high temperature carburising heat treating, carbonitriding and endothermic gas generators. It should not be used for nitriding applications.
 
Energy Cost Savings
Using the AP1 Carbon probe, operating conditions can be achieved more rapidly and better atmosphere control can be maintained. The carburising gas supply is used more efficiently, resulting in energy savings and reduction in furnace burnouts. Leakage of furnace seals or firing tubes are detected, notably improving furnace efficiency.
 
Reference Air Supply and Burnoff Enclosures
The reference air and burnoff enclosures are self-contained units that provide reference air and/or burnoff purge to the AP1 carbon probe.
