Abstract
A metering syringe for transferring fluid media in predetermined volumes from one container to another container comprised of a unitary structural unit defined by a combination of a piston-burette, a pneumatic drive therefore and a pneumatically-actuated valve means, all operating from a common compressed air source. A double-headed piston of the pneumatic drive is attached to a free end of the piston rod from the piston-burette, with the diameter of the piston-rod being of such size relative to the diameter of the double-headed piston that the two pneumatically effective piston-head surfaces of the double-headed piston differs significantly from one another. A compressed air source is connected to the pneumatic drive on both sides of the double-headed piston so as to act on the respective piston-head surfaces in such a manner that the piston-head having a relatively smaller effective surface is constantly biased by the compressed air and the piston-head with a relatively larger effective surface is selectively biased by the compressed air to control movement of the double-headed piston. A somewhat similar double-headed piston arrangement is provided in the valve means and pneumatically interconnected with the pneumatic drive for cooperative operation therewith.
