  • Liquid flow and volume recording apparatus and method
    Patent number: 4098116
    Abstract: Means for measuring and recording the instantaneous rate of flow of a liquid such as a stream of urine, and an accumulated volume of said fluid. The rate is measured by causing it to flow along a measured sloping channel supported by a deflectable beam and gauging the deflection of the beam. The total flow is measured by collecting the liquid in a container supported and gauged in the same way. The system can be entirely gas-operated.

  • Pressure and volume recording apparatus
    Patent number: 4052892
    Abstract: Means for measuring the flow of a stream of fluid and the resistance to said flow. The means can be powered by the fluid whose flow is being measured. First axis motor means moves a chart in response to total flow, and second axis motor means moves marker means on said chart in response to variations in backpressure caused by resistance to flow out of the means. Examples are measuring the muscular response of the urethra and of the bladder.
