Detection of the internal pressure in beer cans by measuring the force-displacement curves

Abstract

Microbiological contamination of beer is manifested in many cases by the production of CO2 and an increase in its concentration. An increase in the concentration of CO2 in a closed package leads to an increase in internal pressure, which can cause the destruction of the package with dangerous consequences. This case study aimed to verify the applicability of force-displacement measurement for non-destructive monitoring of the internal pressure in beer cans.
