MEASURING VOLUME, VOLUME FLOW, MASS FLOW OR LIQUID LEVEL; METERING BY VOLUME

Introduced: September 1968

Description

This subclass encompasses instruments and methods for quantifying fluid volumes, flow rates, and liquid levels across industrial, scientific, and domestic applications. Coverage includes volumetric flowmeters (turbine, gear, and piston types), mass flowmeters (Coriolis and thermal devices), liquid level indicators (float, capacitive, and ultrasonic), and positive displacement metering pumps. The classification extends to flow measurement principles using differential pressure, electromagnetic, and vortex-shedding techniques, as well as apparatus for calibration and testing of such instruments.
