Abstract: A pressure difference type liquid level meter for measuring the quantity of an object liquid includes a liquid receptacle containing the object liquid, a pressure transmitting device including a pressure transmitting liquid for transmitting a pressure from the object liquid to a pressure difference detector so as to compare the transmitted pressure with a reference pressure, and an isothermal device for maintaining at least part of the pressure transmitting liquid at a predetermined temperature.

Abstract: A container for a mechanical filter is provided in which the internal pressure is reduced to prevent propagation in the air of sound waves to thereby prevent deterioration of the filter characteristics. A recess with an aperture therethrough is formed in one of the walls of a metal casing which constitutes the container. Further, an adhesive tape-like member is disposed on the surface of the recess in such a manner as to cover the aperture. After the casing has been evacuated through the aperture, hermetic sealing means is provided on the adhesive tape-like member within the recess.

Abstract: In a mechanical filter, a pair of transducer elements of truncated circular cross-section are disposed at the input and output sides respectively, and they are mechanically connected in cascade to each other by means of a coupler member. The areas of the truncated cross-section of the transducer elements are made different from each other. Between said pair of transducer elements may be provided one or more resonator elements each provided with a recess and connected to each other and to said transducer elements by said coupler member. Each of the transducers and resonators are mounted on a mount base plate by means of a bent wire-like support member having a pair of legs. The foregoing mechanical filter is accommodated in a container which is pressure-reduced and hermetically sealed.
