    Combustion Check Meter. Flue Tests You Need Without All the Extras You Don't.

    Fieldpiece's SOX2 Combustion Check meter measures % Oxygen and Temperature and calculates % Carbon Dioxide and % Excess Air in flue gas. Most technicians don't need a full-on combustion analysis to tune a system. Heating appliance manufacturers often provide targets for %O2 , temperature, and %CO2 in flue gas. Some are now including targets for % Excess Air. The SOX2 gives technicians the measurements they need without the costly extras of full-on combustion analyzers. See www.fieldpiece.com/combustion_check.html for more on the SOX2.
