Measuring the CO2 Content of Carbonated Drinks with the CO2DA
Updated: Oct 12
How much carbon dioxide does a filled drink contain? The CO2DA Automatic Shaker & CO2 Calculator by AT2E calculates the CO2 content of drinks in glass bottles, PET bottles and cans. Motor shaking replaces manual shaking, which guarantees high reproducibility.
How the test works
Place the sample on the vertical platform.
Pierce the sample (cap) with the lever, then lower the temperature probe.
Press start on the touch screen.
During shaking, pressure and temperature change until the end of the test, when the CO2 content is obtained.

Frequently asked questions
What is the primary function of the CO2DA?
The CO2DA measures the dissolved CO2 content of carbonated beverages: the sample is pierced with a lever-actuated needle, the measurement cycle is started from the touch screen, and the result is displayed automatically after shaking.
What accuracy does the CO2DA achieve?
The CO2DA offers an accuracy of ±0.5% F.S. for CO2, temperature and pressure, with a resolution of 0.1 °C and 0.01 bar.
What sample capacity does the CO2DA handle?
The CO2DA accepts samples up to 120 mm in diameter and 380 mm in height, and gives results in g/L, Vol, %b.w or P20 [kg/cm2].
