Natural Gas Pipeline Oxygen Limits: Published Tariff Values from 10 ppm to 0.2 %
This article lists published pipeline and utility oxygen limits with sources, explains why they differ, and matches each limit to an analyzer range.
Guides from Standard Sensors engineers on oxygen in natural gas: where it comes from, what limits apply, and how to measure it.
These articles answer specific questions about oxygen limits, sensor life and new gas sources.
This article lists published pipeline and utility oxygen limits with sources, explains why they differ, and matches each limit to an analyzer range.
This article compares rated galvanic cell life with a field account of about 1 to 3 months in upstream service, and counts the cell changes over two or three years.
This article explains where oxygen in biogas comes from, which RNG injection limits apply, and where to measure in an upgrading plant.
These guides cover oxygen measurement in natural gas.
This guide explains how oxygen gets into natural gas, how pipelines set oxygen limits, how many ppm a small air leak adds, and where to measure.
This comparison covers what wears out in each analyzer type, how H₂S and CO₂ affect them, and which site-visit and cost components to compare.
The glossary gives plain definitions for oxygen measurement terms, including ppm vs percent, air ingress, galvanic cells, Class 1 Division 2 and IP67.
These pages explain where an oxygen analyzer goes in each part of the gas system and what the reading shows.
This overview shows where to install an optical oxygen analyzer in oil and gas, from vapor recovery units and compressor stations to custody transfer and flare gas.
This page explains how an analyzer on the vapor line between the separator and the VRU compressor detects air ingress.
This page explains how an oxygen reading on the discharge line catches air drawn in at rod packing and seals.
This page explains how a wellhead reading helps find the one well letting in air before its gas blends into the gathering line.
This page explains how a reading at the custody transfer fence line shows cumulative oxygen against the pipeline’s oxygen limit.
This page explains how a reading on the trunk line before the interconnect shows cumulative oxygen from the field.
This page explains how an oxygen reading confirms that the blanket is keeping air out of the tank vapor space.
This page explains how a continuous oxygen signal shows air leaking into the flare header and confirms that purge flow is keeping air out.
