Steinfurth
CO₂ & Carbonation Measurement Systems
Accurate CO₂ control for consistent beverage quality
Maintaining the correct level of carbonation is essential for taste, shelf life and product consistency. Steinfurth provides precise and proven systems for measuring CO₂, pressure and temperature directly in bottles and cans – designed for reliable quality control in beverage production.
These solutions give you confidence in your carbonation process, from routine quality checks to reference and validation measurements.
How Direct CO₂ Measurement Delivers Reliable Results
Steinfurth CO₂ measurement systems are based on direct in-package measurement of pressure and temperature, combined with physical calculation of CO₂ content according to Henry’s and Dalton’s laws.
Dynamic sample preparation ensures fast equilibrium and highly repeatable results, while integrated data handling supports traceability and efficient quality workflows. The product family includes both primary measurement systems and reference tools for validation and verification.
Measurement, Reference and Validation - One CO₂ Measurement System
Steinfurth CO₂ Tester CDA-MK6
The CDA-MK6 is a high-precision CO₂ measurement system for bottles and cans. It simultaneously measures pressure and temperature, automatically calculates CO₂ content and stores all relevant test data.
Key characteristics:
- Dynamic, integrated sample preparation
- Fully automatic measurement sequence
- Measurement of CO₂, pressure and temperature in one cycle
- Touch-screen base unit with visualized results
- Data output via RS232, USB or LAN
- Designed for quality control and packaging testing
Typical use:
Routine CO₂ monitoring in beverage production, packaging validation and process optimization.
SmartCap p/T Tester
The SmartCap is a compact, screw-on reference device for measuring pressure and temperature in carbonated beverages.
It is used as a reference and verification tool for non-destructive Steinfurth systems and supports in-situ comparison directly on real packages.
Key characteristics:
- Direct pressure and temperature measurement
- Application on real bottles using standard neck finishes
- Ideal for reference checks of NICO and NICOlab systems
- Guided operation via display, LED and acoustic signals
- Portable and easy to use
Typical use:
Reference measurements and confidence checks during CO₂ analysis.
CDA Check Bottle
The CDA Check Bottle is designed for quick validation of the CDA-MK6 measuring head.
It allows direct comparison between the CDA system and a calibrated reference bottle equipped with high-precision sensors.
Key characteristics:
- Simple validation without special training
- Direct comparison of pressure and temperature values
- Clear visualization of deviations
- Designed to behave like a standard bottle from the filling line
Typical use:
System validation, performance verification and quality audits.
Applications
Steinfurth CO₂ & carbonation systems are used in:
- Breweries and soft drink production
- Bottled water and carbonated beverage plants
- Packaging development and testing
- Quality control laboratories
- Process optimization and line monitoring
They support both routine measurements and traceable reference testing.
