A rapid and precise method for the determination of oxygen in certain gases: Modified brady method

The modified brady method is a rapid one, requiring only about one hour for the analysis, but requires large samples of gas, 5 to 20 liters. The precision of the method described here-in is ± 0.004 to ± 0.4 in the low range of oxygen-concentration (0.01 to 0. 10 part per million oxygen),± 0.01 to ± 0.07 in the medium range of oxygen-concentration (0.1 to l .0 part per million oxygen)and ± 0.0 to ± 0.2 in the upper range of oxygen-concentration (1 to 15 parts per million oxygen). The liest precision (winkler method) previously reported was ± 0.3 part per million oxygen. The range of the method is 0.01 to 15 parts per million oxygen. The minimum amount of oxygen detectible is 0.005 part per million.
