Abstract: A milk meter suitable for measuring a quantity of milk flowing through the meter including: a sealed holding chamber (1); entry means (3) for admitting liquid to be measured into the holding chamber; a foam bypass chamber (3); sensing means (5, 7a) for sensing when milk is at or above a predetermined level in said foam bypass chamber, an inlet (13b) arranged to allow communication of milk between the holding chamber and the bypass chamber, the inlet being provided at a level below the predetermined level; drainage means (4, 8) associated with a timer, the drainage means being arranged to allow the milk to drain from the holding chamber for a set period of time (t) in response to a signal from the sensing means; and measuring means (11) arranged to count the number of times (n), milk has been drained from the holding chamber and to display the milk volume and/or flow rate.
