Volumetric measurement device

摘要

The disclosure provides a volumetric measurement device that includes of a vessel into which contents to be measured are placed. The device has a target operational range of measurement volumes. The shape of the vessel has the property that the ratio of the surface area of contents in the vessel to the volume of those contents is constant across the operational range. For any source of error in the estimation of vertical height of contents, the constant ratio of surface area to volume prevents the error from having a larger negative impact on overall measurement error as the volume being measured decreases. In other words, the vessel is just at good at measuring small volumes of contents as large volumes of contents.

主权项

1. A volumetric measuring device for measuring contents, comprising:
a curved section, wherein, for each height h along an entire height of the curved section, a surface area of contents in the device at height h is in constant proportion to a volume of contents in the device.
