Zahm & Nagel #1000D CO² Volume Meter
SKU: 1000-D~ea
1) What is the SS-60 used for?
The Zahm & Nagel SS-60 (1000D) is used to verify carbonation (CO2 volumes) in carbonated beverages for production QA/QC (tank and packaged product).
2) Is this a “CO2 meter” for room safety monitoring?
No. This product is for beverage carbonation testing (CO2 volumes). CO2 room safety monitors are a different product category.
3) Does it measure dissolved CO2 in beverages?
It determines CO2 levels in carbonated beverages using a repeatable test method suitable for brewery and beverage QA/QC workflows.
4) How repeatable/accurate are the readings?
Repeatability improves when operators follow a consistent SOP—especially for sample temperature, purge/flush volume, agitation time, and when the reading is taken.
5) How much product should I purge/flush before taking a reading?
Plan to flush enough beverage to stabilize temperature and reduce foam/line effects before taking the actual measurement. Consistent purge practice improves consistency.
6) What can throw off a CO2 reading?
Common causes include inconsistent sample temperature, trapped foam, insufficient purge/flush, dirty fittings, and particulate/solids interfering with seals or connections.
7) Do I need to calibrate or verify the gauge/thermometer?
Yes. Accuracy depends on keeping pressure and temperature measurements in spec. Regular checks (and calibration when required) help maintain reliable results.
8) Can the SS-60 be repaired or rebuilt?
Yes. The SS-60 is a serviceable instrument. Wear parts can be replaced and older units are commonly refurbished.
9) What typically wears out first?
In real-world use, gaskets/seals are common wear items. Gauges may also require replacement over time depending on usage and handling.
10) Is the SS-60 worth it versus lower-cost testers?
Many brewers treat it as a “buy once” tool—lower-cost testers can work for rough checks, but the SS-60 is often chosen for durability, long-term support, and consistency.
11) Does it work the same for all beverages?
Results can be affected when beverages contain other dissolved gases in addition to CO2. If your product uses mixed gas, contact us and we’ll confirm the best approach.
12) Do you support parts and service in Canada?
Yes. We can support ownership with replacement parts and guidance—contact us with your model details and what you’re trying to measure.
