In the field of aviation and aerospace research, it’s crucial to understand how low-pressure, high-altitude conditions affect the human body. These studies can help ensure the safety and efficiency of flight and space crew selection and training.
In this Study
In a study by researcher Ding Junping, the Hiden HPR-20 R&D online gas analyser was utilized under low-pressure conditions, assessing its capability for real-time gas analysis. This gas analysis is important as it monitors potential risks like hypoxia and altitude decompression sickness.
The study involved multiple experiments in simulated high-altitude environments (0-10km), where the HPR-20 R&D measured changes in both standard and cabin air gas compositions, and inhaled gases when test subjects were breathing normally and on pure oxygen.

Results
Results from the study showed the HPR-20 R&D provided reliable, accurate, and fast results under different low-pressure conditions. It demonstrated its ability to quickly measure changes in the concentration of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide gases during human respiration in low-pressure environments. It also fulfilled the real-time testing requirements for low-pressure human experiments.
