DEFINITION

Classification: 417/142

(under subclass 139) Apparatus wherein the mechanism, by which the fluid which is pumped is admitted to or ejected from the pumping chamber, is controlled in response to the pressure of the fluid which is pumped.

(1) Note. This subclass includes those devices which have means which are described as sensing the "weight" of the pumped fluid but which, in fact, sense pumped fluid pressure at a given point in the pump chamber. However, a device which includes a container into which pumped fluid is placed and which measures a predetermined weight of fluid therein to control the pumping operation is classified in subclass 139.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

143, for devices wherein repetitive pumping is effected in response to a sensed motive fluid pressure or pressure differential.
