Introduced: September 1968

Description

B67D covers apparatus and methods for dispensing, delivering, or transferring liquids that do not fall within more specialized classifications. This includes liquid pumps, metering devices, filling systems, and transfer equipment for beverages, fuels, chemicals, and other liquid products. The classification encompasses both manual and automated systems for controlling liquid flow, measuring quantities, and directing liquids into containers or through conduits. Related but distinct technologies—such as pumps for specific industrial processes or specialized medical delivery systems—may be classified elsewhere within the IPC system.
