L.SENSOR.CO2
CO2 Measurement System
The FT System L.SENSOR.CO2 is a non-destructive and
non-invasive laboratory test instrument used to measure
internal pressure and CO2 content in plastic and glass
containers. The test is simple, fast and repeatable.
Because the test is non-destructive, an unlimited
number of tests can be conducted on the same
container. This allows for the measurement of CO2 and
pressure content of the same container over any period
of time. The system can be used for carbonated soft
drinks, beer, and wine applications.
The L.SENSOR.CO2 will detect:
• Total Pressure (Ptot)
• Partial CO2 Pressure (P CO2)
• Dissolved CO2 in g/L or V/V
L.SENSOR CO2 TECHNOLOGY – Theory of Operation
The FT System L.SENSOR.CO2 system uses a tunable diode laser
absorption spectroscopy technique. Certain molecules, when in the
gaseous state, have a particular and unique frequency where they
absorb light. This allows the measurement of the presence and quantity
of a specific gas with an optical method. The L.SENSOR.CO2 uses the
latest generation laser to inspect gas in the headspace of the container.
The laser emits a beam at a specific frequency on one side of the
container and a receiver measures the beam after it has passed through
the headspace of the container. The patented technology gives the
L.SENSOR.CO2 the ability to perform the measurement independent of
the color or material of the bottle.
