The Importance of Precise Oxygen Content Control in Reflow Soldering Process: Tianfen Instruments Safeguards You

In the field of modern electronics manufacturing, the reflow soldering process is a key step in surface mount technology ( SMT ) whose quality directly determines the reliability and performance of electronic products. Reflow soldering is a process that melts solder paste by heating, enabling mechanical and electrical connections between component pins and PCB pads. This process requires precise control of temperature profiles, heating time, and ambient atmosphere; any deviation in these parameters may cause soldering defects.

The Importance of Measuring Oxygen Content in the Reflow Soldering Process

In the reflow soldering process, the oxygen content in the ambient atmosphere is one of the key factors affecting soldering quality. Proper oxygen control can:

  • Reduce Oxidation : Lowering oxygen content effectively prevents oxidation of solder joints and component pins at high temperatures, improving soldering quality.
  • Improve Solder Wettability : A low-oxygen environment helps solder better wet the pads, forming reliable solder joints.
  • Reduce Solder Slag and Defects : Controlling oxygen content can reduce solder slag formation and avoid defects such as cold solder joints and insufficient soldering.
  • Enhance Soldering Consistency : Stable oxygen content ensures consistent soldering quality in mass production.

Zirconia oxygen analyzer, oxygen analyzer


The zirconia oxygen analyzer is a high-precision, online monitoring device developed based on the principles of high-temperature oxygen ion conduction in zirconia ceramics and the concentration‑difference electromotive force. It serves as a core smart instrument for measuring oxygen content in industrial flue gases, optimizing combustion conditions, and managing environmental emissions. The device can directly measure gas oxygen concentrations in various furnaces and pipelines, offering real-time monitoring, stable and durable performance, and adaptability to harsh operating conditions. Widely applicable across multiple industries for production and environmental‑related operations, it is a critical tool for achieving energy savings, safe production, and compliance with emission standards. I. Company Profile Anhui Tianfen Instrument Co., Ltd. is a high‑tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, manufacturing, sales, and technical services of industrial process analytical instruments. With years of expertise in oxygen analysis, environmental monitoring, and industrial measurement and control, the company focuses on iterative upgrades of zirconia oxygen analyzers, gas analyzers, and industrial control equipment. Backed by mature production processes, rigorous quality‑control systems, and a professional R&D team, it provides customized monitoring solutions tailored to diverse industry requirements. Its products—known for precision, stability, durability, low power consumption, and ease of maintenance—serve a wide range of sectors including power generation, chemical processing, metallurgy, building materials, and environmental protection, earning high recognition from both the market and customers. Committed to quality and driven by technology, the company continuously supports industrial enterprises in achieving intelligent manufacturing, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. II. Core Technical Parameters This series of analyzers features standardized industrial‑grade specifications, meeting the detection needs of most industrial applications. Key performance indicators are outstanding and highly stable: the standard measurement range is 0–25% O₂, with custom ranges available upon request; basic system measurement error is ≤±0.5% FS, with high‑accuracy models reaching ±0.1% O₂; repeatability is ≤0.5% FS, placing its accuracy at an industry‑leading level; T90 response time is ≤5 seconds, enabling rapid capture of dynamic oxygen‑content changes; temperature control is maintained at 700°C ±0.1°C, ensuring stable operation of the sensing element; the device operates over a broad temperature range, tolerating ambient conditions from −20°C to 85°C, while high‑temperature probes can withstand flue gas temperatures up to 1,400°C. Signal outputs include standard 4–20 mA analog signals and RS‑485 digital communication compliant with HART protocol, ensuring compatibility with mainstream industrial control systems. Zero drift is limited to ≤±0.5% FS per 7 days, guaranteeing long‑term operational stability and significantly reducing failure rates. III. Key Technological Features 1. In‑situ direct measurement with ultra‑fast response: No sample preparation or pre‑treatment is required; the device can be inserted directly into the process pipeline for on‑site measurement, eliminating delays, blockages, and leaks associated with sampling lines. Its sub‑second response time provides real‑time feedback on combustion conditions, supplying precise data for system control. 2. High‑temperature and corrosion resistance, suitable for demanding environments: Featuring a highly dense, stable zirconia ceramic sensing core paired with a corrosion‑resistant, wear‑proof structural design, this analyzer withstands high temperatures, dusty conditions, and mildly corrosive flue gases, resisting erosion and aging while adapting to complex, harsh industrial settings. 3. Intelligent calibration and robust stability: Equipped with automatic zeroing and purging functions, the device exhibits minimal drift over extended operation, ensuring consistent and reliable data. 4. Easy installation and low maintenance costs: Available in modular, plug‑in configurations, it simplifies installation without requiring extensive modifications.

IV. Addressing Industry Pain Points 1. Resolving traditional detection delays and distortions: Conventional sampling‑based oxygen analyzers suffer from slow response times, clogged tubing, and condensation interference, failing to reflect real‑time furnace conditions. By contrast, this device offers in‑situ direct measurement with no transmission lag, delivering accurate and reliable data. 2. Overcoming challenges in high‑temperature, dusty environments: Many precision analyzers cannot endure the extreme heat, heavy dust, and high‑velocity flows typical of industrial furnaces, often resulting in sensor damage and data loss. This specialized device incorporates a high‑temperature, dust‑resistant structure, ensuring stable long‑term operation even under severe production conditions. 3. Tackling high energy consumption and incomplete combustion: Industrial furnaces frequently experience imbalances in air‑fuel ratios and inefficient combustion, leading to fuel waste, reduced productivity, and increased emissions. By precisely monitoring oxygen levels, this analyzer helps optimize air‑fuel ratios, improve combustion efficiency, and lower energy use and carbon footprints. 4.
