G01D

MEASURING NOT SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR A SPECIFIC VARIABLE; ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEASURING TWO OR MORE VARIABLES NOT COVERED IN A SINGLE OTHER SUBCLASS; TARIFF METERING APPARATUS; MEASURING OR TESTING NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR

Description

G01D provides a residual classification for measurement and testing technologies that are either generic in nature or do not fit within specialized subclasses dedicated to specific variables (such as length, temperature, or pressure). It covers multi-variable measurement systems where the combination of measured parameters cannot be classified under a single dedicated subclass, as well as tariff metering apparatus and generic transducing/transferring arrangements applicable across multiple measurement domains. This subclass also serves as a catch-all for measurement and testing methods or apparatus that lack adequate coverage in more specific G01 subclasses, making it essential for inventions with broad or cross-disciplinary measurement applications.
