Introduction
The document introduces the Steinfurth NICO, a portable device for non-destructive CO2 measurements in filled beverage containers. It emphasizes the importance of accurate CO2 measurement for maintaining beverage taste and shelf life.

Operating Principle
NICO uses a patented non-destructive laser technology to measure CO2 content in sealed transparent containers. This allows for repeat measurements at various stages of production and storage without affecting the packaging.

Technical Specifications

• CO2 Range: 0–20g/L (0–10vol), Accuracy: < 2%, Repeatability: < 1.2%
• Pressure Range: 1–6bar (14.5–87psi), Accuracy: < 1.5%, Repeatability: < 0.5%
• Temperature Range: 5–35°C (41–95°F), Accuracy: < 0.25°C
• Measuring Time: < 15 seconds
• Dimensions: 160x220x110mm, Weight: 1200g
• Laser Class: 1M

Benefits

• Non-destructive measurement
• Compact and mobile design
• Fast and easy handling
• No sample carryover
• No chemicals required
• Replaceable battery
• Data transfer via Wi-Fi & QR code
• Precise pressure, temperature, and CO2 determination
• Applicable throughout the production to consumer chain

Usage Procedure
To measure CO2, NICO is placed above the bottle cap and moved horizontally over the headspace. Equilibrium between liquid and headspace CO2 is ensured by moderate shaking. The device analyzes packaging influences and displays results on a touchscreen within approximately 15 seconds.
