Abstract
Abstract A method for measuring the amount of the gas contained in liquid, comprising introducing a liquid material into a vacuum measuring chamber, changing the volume of the measuring chamber to provide two different liquid pressures of the liquid material in the measuring chamber, detecting the different pressures to measure the amount of gas on the basis of Boyle's law.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
An apparatus for measuring the amount of gas contained in a liquid material comprising: (1) a cylindrical measuring chamber (10); (2) an inlet part (9,13) connecting said measuring chamber to a sample source; (3) a valve device (20) comprising means for closing said measuring chamber from said inlet part; (4) a piston (31) fitted into said measuring chamber (10); (5) a first means for moving said piston a predetermined distance in said measuring chamber said comprising at least two cylindrical ports separated by a seal member on said piston, said cylinder ports being positioned so that said first means effects movement of said piston over the length of said measuring chamber; (6) a pressure gauge (15) connected to said measuring chamber; (7) a second means for moving said piston a predetermined distance in said measuring chamber; and (8) means for detecting the location of said valve means and said piston.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
150 words
An apparatus for measuring the amount of gas contained in a liquid material comprising: (1) a cylindrical measuring chamber (10); (2) an inlet part (9,13) connecting said measuring chamber to a sample source; (3) a valve device (20) comprising means for closing said measuring chamber from said inlet part; (4) a piston (31) fitted into said measuring chamber (10); (5) a first means for moving said piston a predetermined distance in said measuring chamber said comprising at least two cylindrical ports separated by a seal member on said piston, said cylinder ports being positioned so that said first means effects movement of said piston over the length of said measuring chamber; (6) a pressure gauge (15) connected to said measuring chamber; (7) a second means for moving said piston a predetermined distance in said measuring chamber; and (8) means for detecting the location of said valve means and said piston.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
An apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said valve device comprises a housing having a cylindrical bore and a tubular member slidably disposed therein.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
An apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said second means for moving said piston comprises a cylinder (45) disposed at a base of said piston, a chamber (40a) at the base thereof, an inlet and an outlet connected to said chamber, and a stop (46) which limits the travel of said cylinder.
