For more information on units of measure click here. This article will use g\/hr for all calculations.<\/p>\n<p>To determine the g\/hr of ozone from an ozone generator we must determine the grams of ozone that are produced in a given hour period of time. This is done by determining the gas flowrate through the ozone generator and the concentration of ozone in that gas.<\/p>\n<p>Concentration of ozone is normally measured in g\/m3 or % by weight.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Equipment required:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>UV Ozone Analyzer<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Supply-gas flow-meter<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Ozone gas flow meter<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Ozone destruct device<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>UV Ozone Analyzer<\/b><\/span> is required to measure high concentrations of ozone accurately. The high concentrations of ozone produced by an industrial ozone generator can be measured accurately and reliably using a UV based ozone analyzer. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/products\/ozone-monitors\/uv-analyzer\/api454.html\">UV Ozone analyzer<\/a> will measure ozone in either g\/m3 or % by weight. This will provide the concentration of ozone gas produced by the ozone generator.<\/p>\n<p>A <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Supply-gas flow-meter <\/strong><\/span>is any flow measurement device that is measuring the total oxygen or dry air supply-gas flowing through the ozone generator. This will measure the volume of gas and provide the total mass of gas to determine total ozone production.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Ozone Gas flow-meter<\/b><\/span> will regulate the amount of ozone gas flowing through the ozone analyzer. Most UV based ozone analyzer are rated for a gas flow rate of 1-2 LPM. Therefore when dealing with total gas flows greater than 2 LPM ozone gas flow must be diverted around the ozone analyzer and continue to the point of use. This ozone gas flow-meter will be used to control and regulate the ozone gas flow through the ozone analyzer.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Ozone Destruct Device<\/b> <\/span>will be used to safely catalyze all ozone back to oxygen after the UV ozone analyzer. This will allow ozone to be measured in a safe environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The illustration below provides an example of how this equipment can be configured. This may be a temporary set-up to test an ozone generator, or be a permanent part of a large ozone system where confirming ozone production is imperative.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 529px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/ozone\/ozone-production\/how-to-test-production-from-your-ozone-generator.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Measure ozone production\" title=\"Test ozone production from O3 generator\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/Measure_output_of_O3_gen_industrial_1.png\" alt=\"Measure output of an industrial ozone generator \" width=\"529\" height=\"343\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to measure output of ozone generator with ozone analyzer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Units of measure:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/ozone\/ozone-units.html\">For more information on common ozone related units of measure click HERE.<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>G\/hr = grams per hour<\/b> \u2013 this is the most common measurement of ozone production.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lb\/day = pounds per day<\/b> \u2013 this is a common unit of measure for very large ozone generators<\/p>\n<p><b>wt% = percent by weight<\/b> = common method of measuring ozone concentration by weight<\/p>\n<p><b>g\/m3 = grams per cubic meter <\/b>= best method to determine ozone concentration by weight<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>Calcuations:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your ozone analyzer may provide ozone concentrations in % or g\/m3.
