How Long After Nitrogen Purge Can Sensor Performance Be Tested?

Apr 24, 2026

After nitrogen purging, the sensor must be dried and cooled to room temperature before performance testing. This is typically done within 6-7 hours after purging. Especially in the high-temperature and high-humidity environment of Wuhan, it is essential to ensure that low-temperature baking (60°C/4-6 hours) is completed and the sensor has cooled naturally before performance testing can begin.

1. Testing Timing: After the Purging + Baking + Cooling Closed Loop

Immediate Baking After Purging: Start low-temperature baking at 60°C within 30 minutes of purging and continue for 4-6 hours.

Natural Cooling After Baking: Cool to room temperature in a dry environment (approximately 30-60 minutes) to prevent condensation.

Final Testing Timing: Complete all procedures and begin testing within 6-7 hours after purging.

 

2. Required Test Items and Acceptance Standards

Test Item

Acceptance Standard

Test Tool

Insulation Resistance

>100MΩ (500VDC)

Megohmmeter

Loop Resistance

2~10Ω

Multimeter

Zero-Point Calibration Offset

<0.3℃

HMI System

Power-On Stability

No drift (<0.5℃/h), no burrs

30-minute trial run

Judgment Criteria: If any item fails to meet the standard, it is judged as recovery failure, and the sensor needs to be replaced.

3. Risks of Delayed Testing

Premature Testing (Without Cooling): Condensation may occur during the cooling process, resulting in a falsely low insulation resistance, which may be mistakenly judged as unrecoverable.

Delayed Testing (>24 hours): If not stored in a sealed container, the sensor may be exposed to moisture again, affecting the accuracy of the test.
