Abstract: A device determines an oxygen content of a headspace gas in a liquid-filled container. The device contains a piercer, a sampling tube, a piercing head on which the piercer and the sampling tube are disposed, a pump, a ring line, and a sensor unit disposed within the ring line and used to determine the oxygen content and/or an oxygen partial pressure of the headspace gas of the liquid-filled container. The ring line is configured such that the headspace gas of the liquid-filled container can be sampled via the piercer or the piercing head by use of the pump and can be returned into the headspace of the liquid-filled container via the sampling tube.

Abstract: A method and a device for measuring an oxygen content of a headspace gas in a beverage can. The beverage can is oriented upside down to allow the headspace gas to collect at the bottom. A hollow piercer on a piercing head forms a sampling opening in the bottom of the can through which the sampling tube penetrates. The liquid level in the beverage can is lowered to establish a direct connection of the gas-filled headspace and the sampling opening. Then the headspace gas is transported from the headspace to a sensor unit via the sampling tube and/or the hollow piercer or the piercing head. The oxygen content and/or an oxygen partial pressure and/or a headspace volume of the headspace gas are determined by the sensor unit. The sampling opening is closed off airtight by sealing elements arranged on the piercer or the piercing head.

Abstract: A method and a measuring device measure the density of fluid media with a sensor having a density measuring device. A frequency oscillator with mass balance is used as the density sensor and all components related to the frequency oscillator with mass balance for the oscillation behavior, oscillation excitation and oscillation evaluation, as well as the frequency oscillator with mass balance directly associated with the measuring and sensor electronics, are enclosed in a housing or cartridge. These components are used with the frequency oscillator with mass balance in the cartridge, and/or the frequency oscillator with mass balance together with the cartridge is adjusted or calibrated using measurement standards and adapted as necessary to the specific application. The cartridge with the frequency oscillator with mass balance is releasably or replaceably connected with the measuring device or its base body before the beginning of the measuring operation to investigate the media.
