ABSTRACT:
A milk flow meter is provided, wherein the milk is tangentially introduced into an upper milk collecting chamber communicating with a milk discharge duct via a lower measuring chamber adapted to have the filling level therein measured. The milk flow meter may be suitably employed for directly measuring the milk flow during mechanized milking. Conventional flow meters are unsuitable for this purpose due to the specific properties of the medium to be measured, namely, milk, and due to the conditions of employ. The milk flow meter described enables the milk flow accurately and continuously. It is essentially characterized in that its measuring chamber communicates with the milk discharge duct via a substantially vertically extending measuring slot shielded from the remainder of the measuring chamber by a surrounding partition provided with a flow passage adjacent its lower end, and in that means is provided for measuring the retained liquid level within the partition.
