Optical DO Sensor Caps
The standard H0 / H3 cap is the default options for most applications. The H2 / H4 cap has a convex design to minimize bubble accumulation and a PTFE membrane that increases the chemical resistance. Learn more about Hamilton's optical dissolved oxygen sensor cap options for different applications in our Knowledge Base article.

What is the expected lifetime and when should I replace my ODO cap?
ODO cap health is process specific, with a cap quality indicator in ArcAir representing the general health of the ODO cap. ODO cap quality replacement is advised at 35%, however, some customers may replace ODO caps as part of a preventative maintenance program before reaching 35%. Click to learn more. -
How should I store my optical dissolved oxygen sensor?
Optical DO sensors should be stored in a clean, dry environment prior to use. Avoid prolonged exposure of the inside cap to ambient light to minimize photodecomposition of the luminophore. Click to access a formal storage document. -
Does my optical DO sensor require calibration prior to usage?
All Hamilton optical dissolved oxygen sensors come with factory calibration; however, for best accuracy, it is recommended that calibration is performed prior to use. The factory calibration does not account for variations in atmospheric pressure or humidity which are often different based on location.
