The OxyGuard TGP probe measures Total dissolved Gas Pressure and is designed specifically for use with OxyGuard Commander or Pacific systems. It can be added to existing systems. It contains sensors for dissolved gas pressure and temperature. The gases dissolved in water consist of oxygen and “other gases”. “Other gases” are mainly nitrogen. It is important to measure if the water is supersaturated in order to prevent the fish from getting gas bubble disease.
The Commander or Pacific system to which the probe is connected uses a dissolved
oxygen measurement made by a DO probe placed near the TGP probe for calculations and presents the degrees of saturation for the total gas, dissolved oxygen and for “other gas”.
