• Variation in the volume of beer bottles - 2 Updates

Variation in the volume of beer bottles

Richard Chivers <richard...@gmail.com>: Dec 10 01:41PM In a drinks bottling plant, we recently had an audit at which the auditor would like us to have checked the volume of product inside the bottle by pouring a few bottles one at a time, into a measuring cylinder We have a beer delivery system calibrated to a national standard, glass bottles that arrive with certificates of conformance against their size specification and we have a calibrated measure for fill level. I wouldn’t have thought that such an additional test was needed but we still got a non-conformance.   It must be almost impossible for bottles not to be the right volume given that they are produced by a standard process but if it occurs, I should know. So I would like to risk assess the chances of bottles not being the right volume then we can either rule in or rule out the necessity for carrying out this check e.g. by finding out the number of non-conforming bottles in every million or whatever.   Does anyone have experience of bottles not containing the correct volume?   Thank you.   Kind regards,   Richard
