AMS 3160

The AMS 3160 is the best seller among the AMS trace oxygen analysersLong-life and robust components as well as a wide variety of housings are what makes the AMS 3160 the most versatile oxygen analyser on the market. Optimised gas path-ways allow for short response- and T-90 times. The gas flow in the AMS 3160 can be regulated accurately with the gas flow meter located on the analyser front.

The sensors for the AMS oxygen analysers are assembled specifically for each application and calibrated in the AMS calibration laboratory to specification and linearity. If a sensor has to be replaced at the end of its lifecycle, the replacement sensor only has to be integrated mechanically into the gas path-way. The analyser down-time is reduced to a minimum during sensor replacement.
