Abstract
A sampler for a milking-system volumeter that can measure fractional volumes and that has both a partial-vacuumized separation chamber with an outlet that can be closed off by means of a valve piston and a measuring chamber. The valve piston associated with the outlet has a nozzle bore that opens into the separation chamber. It is followed by a nozzle channel with a runoff opening at the end facing away from the nozzle bore. The channel is closed when the valve piston is closed and opens into a line leading to the sampler's milk-collecting space when the valve piston is open. When milk flows out of the volumeter through the outlet, part of it flows into the nozzle channel through the nozzle bore and thence into the collecting space through the line. A sample is accordingly taken upon the completion of every fractional-volume measurement by the volumeter.
