Abstract
A gauge for measuring a pre-determined volume of liquid flowing through a conduit. A slug having substantially neutral buoyancy is positioned within the conduit and moves along the conduit at substantially the same rate as the liquid flowing therein. The slug is free to move within a constraint system defining a length of the conduit. The gauge further comprises detection means capable of detecting when the slug has moved a predetermined distance within the conduit.
