4. GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
4.1 General description
The ICM-2000 is an instrument for measuring the gas equilibrium pressure and liquid
temperature in filled bottles or cans. After measuring the temperature the CO2content (based
on the two measured values) can be determined with the Haffmans CO2scale,
The ICM-2000 can be used in laboratories or other locations where measurement of the CO2
content in filled bottles or cans is desired.
The ICM-2000 is a modular design, built of corrosion-resistant materials such as RVS and high-
quality plastics. Special attention has been paid to the instrument’s ergonomics and user-
friendliness.
4.2 Measuring principle ICM-2000
CO2measurement is based on Henry’s law, which applies to a state of equilibrium between gas
and liquid in an enclosed space. The law states that at a certain temperature, the quantity of
gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
4.3 IAM
The IAM is an instrument for measuring the air content in filled bottles or cans. The following
measurements can be carried out using the IAM in combination with the ICM-2000:
•Air content of headspace.
•Total air quantity.
4.4 Measuring principle IAM
The measuring principle is based on the absorption of CO2in lye. The gas slowly released from
a bottle or can via the ICM-2000 (via the needle valve) gradually percolates through the lye in
the IAM. The CO2is absorbed and the remaining gas, usually a mixture of N2and O2, is
collected in the measuring burette.
The amount of gas, expressed in ml, can be seen on the measuring burette after the liquid
levels in both tubes have been equalised using the levelling vessel, thereby eliminating the
influence of the hydrostatic pressure.

4.5 Measurement methods
Before using the ICM-2000, the desired measurement results must be determined so that a
measurement method can be selected. The number of choices is determined by the presence
or absence of an IAM.
4.5.1 ICM-2000 without IAM
Measuring methods:
Measuring CO2without headspace air correction
Using this method, the CO2content is measured on the basis of the gas equilibrium pressure
and liquid temperature. Calculation occurs automatically using the Haffmans CO2formula
(appendix I).
This Method is possible if:
The air content of the headspace is so low as not to influence the CO2measurement.
The headspace can be expelled by snifting (snifting is releasing gas by excess pressure without
releasing dissolved CO2).
4.5.2 ICM-2000 in combination with the IAM
Determining the air content of the head gas
The air content of the head gas in a filled can or bottle can be determined by combining the
ICC-2000 with the IAM. The measuring method is mainly used to check and, if necessary,
adjust the setting of the filling unit and to make a correction to the CO2calculation. This method
is an alternative for “Under water funnel method”.
The head gas is fed through a lye solution after the bottle or can has been pierced. The CO2in
the head gas is totally absorbed by the lye and the other gasses collect in the IAM’s measuring
burette. The volume of these foreign gas components can then be read on the IAM’s measuring
burette (displayed in ml).
Determining the total air content
Pierce the bottle or can before shaking it well. As a result of the shaking, the gas is released
from the liquid and is fed to the IAM. The bottle or can should be shaken until there is no
increase in the volume of air. The air volume can be read on the IAM.
It is also possible to carry out a measuring method which is a combination of the two methods
described above.

6. OPERATING THE CO2METER
This paragraph described the operation of the ICM-2000. Many actions may be carried out
depending on the desired measurement results. See the diagram in appendix VII.
Operation of the ICM-2000 has the following steps:
1. Preparing the bottle or can.
2. Setting the ICM-2000 at the correct height.
3. Shaking bottle or can to equilibrium.
4. Piercing the bottle or can.
5. Snifting.
6. Shaking bottle or can to equilibrium.
7. Reading equilibrium pressure on the manometer.
8. Removing the bottle or can from the ICM-2000.
9. Determinate temperature and CO2content.
1. Preparing the bottle or can.
Method:
1. Bring the bottle or can (according to the ASBC standard) to a temperature of 25.0 ± 0.2
°C (77.0 ± 0.4 °F) in a water bath. This is not strictly necessary but recommended so
that measurements can be reproduced better,
2. Remove any foil or label over the cap of the bottle.
2. Setting the ICM-2000 at the correct height.
Method:
1. Move the handle (pos. 32) back completely,
2. Loosen the knurled nut (pos. 16),
3. Place the bottle or can on the round platform (pos. 24),
4. Adjust the measuring head so that there is a space of 2 mm between the rubber on the
measuring head (pos. 23) and the bottle or can,
5. Fasten the knurled nut.
3. Shaking bottle or can to equilibrium.
Shake the bottle or can several times (about 3 times) before placing it in the ICM-2000. When
the bottle or can is held upside down, the headspace will move through the liquid, aiding in
measurement.

4. Piercing the bottle or can.
Check glass bottles beforehand for any cracks or breaks. Use
undamaged bottles only. Before the bottle is pierced, it must
be protected using the protective sleeve provided.
Method:
1. Close the needle valve (pos. 8).
2. Move the handle (pos. 32) forwards in one movement. The bottle or can will now be
pierced.
5. Snifting.
Snifting allows the headspace to be expelled by excess pressure in a bottle or can without
dissolved CO2being released. To do so, carry out the following actions:
Quickly open the needle valve (after piercing) until the pressure on the display drops to about
0.5 bar and close the needle valve.
6. Shaking bottle or can to equilibrium.
Shake the ICM-2000 with the pierced bottle or can and wait until the manometer value stops
increasing.
7. Reading equilibrium pressure on the manometer
You can now read the pressure on the manometer.
8. Removing the bottle or can from the ICM-2000.
Method:
1. Open the needle valve (pos. 08) so that the equilibrium pressure is released,
2. Move the handle (pos. 32) back completely,
3. Close the needle valve again for the next measurement.
9. Determinate temperature and CO2content
Method:
1. Dip the thermometer in a water bath and determinate the temperature,
2. Determinate the CO2content (with the CO2scale) which is based on the pressure and
the temperature.
The calculation is based on the Haffmans CO2formula (see appendix I).

7. OPERATING THE AIR METER
Always wear protective gloves and goggles. Lye may cause
serious damage if it comes into contact with your skin or
eyes. Remove lye immediately using a large quantity of
flowing water. Contact a doctor immediately.
Warning Used lye should be disposed of according to the national
legal environmental and health regulations.
Attention! Refresh the lye in time.
7.1 Preparations
•Approximately 175 ml of lye solution is needed to use the IAM. Make a 30% KOH or
NaOH solution and dilute this with 2% ethanol or colourless methylated sprit. The lye
solution must be at room temperature. Approximately 60 grams of CO2can be absorbed
by 175 ml of lye solution.
•To avoid pressure differences, the liquid levels in both tubes must be made equal using
the levelling barrel before taking the measurement.
The following must be carried out before the ICC-2000 can be used together with the IAM:
Method:
1. Close the needle valve (pos. 8),
2. Connect the IAM’s hose (pos. 106) to the hose socket (pos. 40) on the ICC-2000.
3. Close the IAM’s sealing tap (pos. 112),
4. Fill the leveller barrel (pos. 103) almost to the top with lye,
5. Open the IAM’s sealing tap so that the IAM is filled,
6. Slide the leveller barrel upwards (13 cm above the IAM),
7. Add a small amount of lye to the leveller barrel so that it is 1/3 full (the level in the IAM is
approximately 3 cm above the sealing tap),
8. Close the sealing tap and lower and leveller barrel until it is on top of the bracket (pos.
101).

There will now still be air in the hose between the IAM and the ICM-2000:
This can be removed in three ways:
•Open the ICM-2000’s needle valve slowly until a drop of lye comes out of the needle.
This will happen more quickly if the IAM is placed slightly higher than ICM-2000. Close
the needle valve if all the air has been removed from the hose. Remove the drop of lye
before starting the measurement.
•Pierce a bottle or can that does not need to be measured but can be used for testing.
Shake to equilibrium and allow gas to escape from the can or bottle as small bubbles by
opening the needle valve. Close the needle valve and wait until the lye has absorbed
the CO2in the hose, i.e., until the hose between the ICM-2000 and the IAM is
completely filled with lye. Shaking the hose will speed this up.
•Remove the rubber cone from the ICM-2000. Connect a hose containing CO2(0.5 bar
maximum) to the ICM-2000’s needle. The hose may be warmed for ease of assembly.
Open the needle valve slowly and expel the air from the hose using the CO2. Close the
needle valve, remove the hose and assemble the pushbutton with the rubber cone.
A non-return valve may be placed in the hose between the ICM-2000 and the IAM.
The IAM is now filled with lye, without air, and is ready to be used for measurements.
7.2 Uses of the IAM
The IAM has three possible uses, which are all based on the method given below.
7.2.1 General IAM method
1. Slowly open the needle valve (pos. 8) and allow small bubbles of the head gas to bubble
through the lye in the IAM.
If the liquid does not foam up after opening the needle valve, the rear of the bottle must
be tapped using a hammer (the foaming action forces the head gas out of the bottle).
2. Close the needle valve when gas no longer escapes from the bottle
/can or as soon as liquid from the bottle/can enters the IAM’s hose,
3. Slide the leveller barrel (pos. 103) so that the liquid in the leveller
barrel and the measuring burette (pos. 111) are at the same level
(the hydrostatic pressure on the gas pocket will be neutralized and
the correct volume will be indicated).
4. Open the sealing tap (pos. 112) and allow a small amount of lye to
flow along the edge of the measuring chamber (this is now filled with
air).
5. Adjust the liquid level in the leveller barrel and the measuring
burette again so that they are the same.
6. Read the level on the IAM (the bottom of the meniscus) in ml.
7. Slide the leveller barrel upwards (maximum position) and open the
sealing tap so that the air can escape from the measuring burette.
8. Close the sealing tap.
