Safety Guidelines
WARNING: You must follow operational safety guidelines when drilling and installing a sensor
in an operating glass furnace. It may be possible to use existing furnace openings. When
repairing a furnace, or planning for new construction, you should consider drilling the holes for
oxygen sensors.
The SuperOX TM Sensor contains a significant number of ceramic parts. It is therefore subject to
thermal shock. The sensor must be installed in an area that provides an adequate, turbulent,
and consistent gas stream representative of the atmosphere in the process. The sensor must
be located so that the “hot” end can measure the oxygen level of the flue gas, at a temperature
