CLRT-02 Manual Carbonation Tester

A CO2 volume tester, also known as a Δοκιμαστής ενανθράκωσης, is a device designed to measure the volume of Carbon Dioxide gas dissolved in a liquid, typically a beverage. This instrument is commonly used in the beverage industry, especially in breweries and soft drink production, to ensure that carbonated beverages meet specific quality and consistency standards.

CLRT-02 Carbon Dioxide Volume Tester provides a method to uncover the relationship between pressure and temperature, shedding light on how these factors influence carbonation volume.

2.Advantages of CLRT-02 Carbon Dioxide Volume Tester

1.Equipped with a quenching piercing head, ensuring enhanced durability and reliability during the testing process.

2.High-Precision Pressure Gauge with Multi-Unit Conversion，catering to diverse measurement preferences.

3.Anti-Leakage Design, safeguarding the integrity of the testing.

4.Vent Valve and Pipe Equipped, enabling controlled release and exhaust during testing.

3.Test Principle of CLRT-02 Carbon Dioxide Volume Tester

The testing Principle for CLRT-02 Carbon Dioxide Volume Tester involves a manual approach, with each step executed to ensure accurate results:

Begin by piercing the bottle cap.

Proceed to open the vent valve, allowing the release of exhaust.

Once exhaust is complete, close the vent valve.

Initiate vigorous vibration, maintained for a duration of 40 seconds.

After pressure has stabilized, record the pressure measurement in Mpa or other applicable units.

Simultaneously, measure the temperature of the liquid.

With these essential data points in hand, obtain the outcome from the carbonation volume table, culminating in a comprehensive assessment of the CO2 volume.

4.Application of Manual Carbonation Tester: 

Carbonated Soft Drinks (Cola, Lemon-Lime Soda, Orange Soda); Sparkling Water (Plain Sparkling Water, Flavored Sparkling Water); Tonic Water; Ginger Ale (Traditional Ginger Ale, Ginger Beer (non-alcoholic)) ; Club Soda; Carbonated Fruit Drinks; Soda Water; Carbonated Energy Drinks; Alcoholic Mixers; Fizzy Lemonades; Carbonated Iced Teas; Seltzer (Plain Seltzer, Fruit-Infused Seltzer);Italian Sodas; Canned Cocktails; Craft Sodas;

8.How to use

Preparation:
Gather all necessary materials such as the sample container (usually a bottle or can), pressure gauge, temperature probe, and any other accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Sample Preparation:
Select a sealed beverage sample at the desired testing temperature, typically room temperature or chilled, depending on the product specifications.
Make sure the sample has been stored under stable conditions to avoid changes in carbonation levels.

Connecting the Tester:
Attach the carbonation tester to the sample container using the appropriate adapter or fitting. This connection should be secure to prevent gas leakage during the test.

Pressure Measurement:
Open the valve on the tester to allow the internal pressure of the beverage container to equalize with the tester’s pressure gauge.
Record the initial pressure reading, which corresponds to the amount of dissolved CO2 in the beverage.

Temperature Compensation:
Measure the temperature of the sample, as carbonation levels are temperature-dependent. Use this data along with the pressure reading to calculate the actual volume of CO2 dissolved in the liquid.
Apply the temperature correction factor to the pressure measurement if required by your procedure or equipment instructions.

Data Recording:
Note down the corrected carbonation level, usually expressed as volumes of CO2 per volume of liquid.
If the tester provides a direct readout of carbonation volumes, record this value directly.

Cleanup and Maintenance:
After completing the test, disconnect the tester from the sample container carefully to avoid spills.
Clean the tester and all parts that came into contact with the beverage to prepare for the next use.
Store the tester in a clean, dry place and perform any maintenance tasks recommended by the manufacturer.

Reporting Results:
Compile the results and compare them against the product specifications or quality control standards.
Document any deviations and take corrective actions as necessary.
