Measuring the level and volume of fermenting substances in yeast plants.Peer-reviewed article

F. VAŇO, V. STUCHLÍK

The article deals with a device developed for comparatively reliable measuring of level and volume of fermenting substances in yeast plants. The apparatus is based upon the principle of hydrostatic pressure and can be successfully applied everywhere for measuring the level, and consequently volume and weight, of liquids contained in vessels with constant cros-section in vertical direction. On the main conditions for obtaining reliable readings is perfect tightness of all connections. Further it is necessary to supply into the measuring tube precisely the quantity of air determined by experiments.
