A device for the determination of the concentration of substances with paramagnetic properties, particularly oxygen, in substance mixtures comprises a cell assembly divided into several chambers, which is arranged to revolve with relation to a service for producing a magnetic field penetrating the cell assembly, and a coil assembly associated with this assembly for the conversion of the magnetic induction produced in it by the paramagnetic substance into an electrical signal. The assembly of devices producing magnetic fields and their associated measuring field coils is unaffected by external interferences such as transfer of mechanical vibrations or influences of external magnetic fields. For this purpose, at least four or more, even number of devices producing magnetic fields with their respective measuring field coils are arranged on both sides of the cell assembly and symmetrically to the axis of rotation, on a common housing, and the magnetizing polarity of the devices is combined with the magnetizing polarity of their respective measuring field coils in alternating orientation.

A device for the determination of the concentration of substances with paramagnetic properties, particularly oxygen, in substance mixtures comprises a cell assembly and devices to produce a magnetic field as well as to measure changes in the magnetic induction. Great mechanical accuracy and stability in the measuring of a change in the magnetic induction uninfluenced by external disturbing fields or by mechanical changes due to external temperature fluctuations or vibrations with a coil assembly for producing a magnetic field and for measuring the induction signal comprising self-contained coil carriers, which, surrounding a cell assembly and are arranged respectively at a distance from the axis of rotation of the cell assembly.

A sensor for sensing the presence of oxygen in a test gas mixture comprises either first or second tubes for the separate flow of a measured gas and a gas to be tested for a single tubular arrangement for the successive flow of these two gases in association with a plurality of radio-frequency coils which are connected in an electrical bridge circuit to that they can be balanced in any variation of the inductance measure. Since oxygen in the gas produces a paramagnetism which provides induction variations in the coils of the balancing circuit, the variations of the balancing circuit may be used to sense the proportion of the oxygen content in the gases. With the inventive method the gases are passed into association with the balancing circuit and variations of the test gas from the measured gas are sensed by the circuit balance which is produced by the oxygen which is present in the gas mixtures. Such a sensor may be used for breath protection, diving and medical fields.
