Best Answer

If you want to test for oxygen content of the air in a room or something like that, there are sensors that will read the percent of oxygen to determine if it is safe to enter an area. About any factory that has "confined spaces" will have a tester for this purpose. The one we use also tests for explosive/flamable vapors and carbon monoxide.
