IPC:

Rotary-piston pumps specially adapted for elastic fluids > having the characteristics covered by two or more of groups , , , , , or having the characteristics covered by one of these groups together with some other type of movement between co-operating members > having the movement defined in group or and relative reciprocation between the co-operating members > with vanes reciprocating with respect to the inner member

CPC:

Rotary-piston pumps specially adapted for elastic fluids (with fluid ring or the like F04C19/00; rotary-piston pumps in which the working-fluid is exclusively displaced by one or more reciprocating pistons F04B) > having the characteristics covered by two or more of groups F04C18/02, F04C18/08, F04C18/22, F04C18/24, F04C18/48, or having the characteristics covered by one of these groups together with some other type of movement between co-operating members > having the movement defined in group F04C18/08 or F04C18/22 and relative reciprocation between the co-operating members > with vanes reciprocating with respect to the inner member

CPC subdivides this area 3x more granularly than IPC with 3 additional codes.

3 codes are CPC-only extensions.
