The result of the measurement shows the following behavior of the oxygen content in ambient air:
• The annual course of the oxygen concentration does not show a significant fluctuation.
• The mean value of the oxygen content in dry air over the whole period of measurement amounts
to: 20.924 %. The uncertainty (k = 2) is 0.061 %
• During the course of the days the fraction of oxygen reached a minimum at midday. The
amplitude of the oscillation was about 0.0014 %
• The components of the central pressurised air supply as for example the dryer or the
particulate filter can alter considerably the oxygen fraction in the case of changing load
(change of the flow or with a change of the pressure). With bigger changes of the pressure
peak values up to 0.3 % could be measured.
