BS 4105 discusses specifications for liquid carbon dioxide. BS 4105 specifies two types of carbon dioxide for industrial use. Type 1 is suitable for industrial non-food applications, e.g. purging, inerting, life raft inflation.
Type 2 is a higher quality grade that is also suitable for industrial food applications, e.g., beverages, gas packaging, food freezing and chilling.
Note: BS 4105 does not apply to carbon dioxide for:
BS 4105 on the specifications for liquid carbon dioxide used in industries is useful for:
Liquid carbon dioxide is used for freezing and chilling food products; carbonation of beverages; water treatment; low-temperature testing of aviation and electronic components; oil and gas well stimulations; and controlling the chemical reaction. BS 4105 provides you with specifications for liquid carbon dioxide of both type 1 and type 2 used in industries.
BS 4105 provides you guidance with the sampling. BS 4105 guides you with the residual gases content and water content of the liquid carbon dioxide. BS 4105 helps you with the packaging and identification of liquid carbon dioxide. BS 4105 helps you manufacture high-quality liquid carbon dioxide.
