Gas Volume Tester
Reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use CO₂ measuring instrument for beverage carbonation testing. Perfect for breweries, soda factories, and packaging labs.
Our gas volume tester is designed for precise gas volume measurement in carbonated beverages. Using advanced pressure and temperature sensing, this CO₂ level tester calculates the amount of the gas measured in your product with exceptional accuracy.
Key Highlights
- Measures CO₂ content in beer, soft drinks, sparkling wine, and cider
- Supports glass bottles, PET bottles, and cans
- Fully compliant with ASBC, EBC, and AOAC testing methods
- Ideal for both production lines and laboratory environments
Gas Volume Tester Standard
ASTM F1115 GB/T 10792
Technical Principle of Gas Volume Measurement
- Sample Piercing – A precision needle pierces the cap or seal, creating a sealed path while preserving the original carbonation.
- Internal Pressure Reading – High-accuracy sensors measure internal pressure, reflecting gas–liquid equilibrium.
- Temperature Measurement – The liquid temperature is measured, as CO₂ solubility is highly temperature-dependent.
- Gas Volume Calculation – Pressure and temperature data are applied to standard carbonation formulas to determine CO₂ content in “volumes” (liters of CO₂ per liter of liquid).

Why CO₂ Measurement Matters
Reliable and accurate CO₂ measuring instrument for beverage carbonation testing — ideal for breweries, soda producers, and packaging laboratories.
1. Taste – Achieving the Perfect Balance
Maintaining the right level of CO₂ is crucial for flavor consistency. Proper carbonation adds a subtle acidity that brightens the taste, while too little results in a dull, flat beverage and too much can create an overly sharp or biting flavor.
2. Mouthfeel & Texture – Creating the Ideal Sensation
CO₂ influences the bubbles and overall texture of the drink. Correct carbonation produces smooth, gentle bubbles that enhance mouthfeel, whereas too much carbonation can feel harsh or prickly, and too little leaves the drink feeling lifeless.
3. Foam Stability – Essential for Beer Quality
In beers, the right CO₂ level supports a rich, lasting foam head. This foam not only improves the look of the beer but also helps trap aroma, making each sip more enjoyable. Insufficient carbonation causes foam to disappear quickly, diminishing the experience.
4. Shelf Life – Keeping Drinks Fresh and Fizzy
Proper CO₂ levels help preserve the beverage by preventing gas loss over time. This keeps drinks fizzy and fresh longer, protecting against spoilage and ensuring quality until the last pour.
FAQ
Q1: Can the gas volume tester measure nitrogen in beverages?
A: It is primarily designed for CO₂ measurement, but can be adapted for N₂ testing.
Q2: How long does a CO₂ test take?
A: Less than one minute per sample.
Q3: Can it test both glass bottles and cans?
A: Yes, with appropriate adapters.
Q4: What is the measurement unit for gas volume?
A: CO₂ volumes (liters of CO₂ per liter of liquid).
Q5: Is calibration required?
A: Annual calibration is recommended for best accuracy.
