This instrument automatically measures gas volume, internal gas pressure, air content and oxygen concentration for quality control in the bottling process of carbonated drinks, etc.
InquiryPRODUCT
Gas Volume Analyzer
GVA-710
Features
- Fully automatic measurement
Both gas volume and air content in a sample container can be measured with a single measurement.
No personal differences in measurement results by automatic measurement.
Less workload compared to manual measurement.
Much safer compared to the manual method by less contact to alkaline solutions.
- Reduced measurement and preparation time
Reducing time by 30 to 70% compared to the conventional model when measuring air content.
- Support for a variety of samples
Enable to measure cans, bottles, and PET bottles from 160 mL to 2.0 L.
Enable to measure sample container with tamper-resistant cap (double-layered lid).
Enable to measure 500mL PET bottle lightweight containers.
- Output results to external printer or PC using dedicated software
Measurement results can be output to not only an external printer but also a connected PC using dedicated software.
- Method function
Up to 20 methods depending on sample property and measurement items can be registered in the instrument.
The measurement method can be edited on a PC using dedicated software.
- Support for barcode reader
Barcode information such as sample ID affixed on the container can be scanned and transferred using a commercial barcode reader
- Visibility inside the absorbent cylinder
The dissolution status of carbon dioxide gas and air content in the absorbent cylinder can be visually checked by operators.
