ABSTRACT:
A volumetric apparatus for milk (FIG. 1) for use by milking plants in the direct measurement of the quantity of milk collected from a cow in milking. The instrument comprises a vacuum separating chamber 1 for separation of the milk from the milk-air mixture drawn from the cow and, following said separating chamber, a measuring chamber 7 for the milk which at its lower end is provided with a milk outlet opening 15 and a valve plug 16 for selectively closing of said outlet opening. The measuring chamber is outfitted with a measuring means, and the separating chamber 1 is connected to the measuring chamber (7) through a constantly open inlet opening (6) of such size that the same pressure prevails in both chambers throughout the measuring operation. A collecting means follows the measuring chamber and communicates with the measuring chamber for receiving milk therefrom when the outlet opening 15 is opened by the valve plug. An air-conducting pipe (8) extends from adjacent the separating chamber to the collecting means. The measuring means is adapted to make partial quantity measurements while the inflow of milk into the measuring chamber (7) continues.
