DEFINITION

Classification: 73/152.51

Pressure measurement:

(under subclass 152.01) Subject matter wherein the determination of the physical characteristic of the borehole, the casing, or the drill rigging is made by measuring pressure.

37, for performing a test by use of fluid pressure.

152.22, for determination of fluid flow during drilling by measuring pressure.

152.27, for a determination of fluid flow by measuring pressure combined with sampling.

152.55, for a downhole fluid test.

700+, for fluid pressure measuring, per se.

760+, for stress or strain measuring or testing by stress or strain. 862+, for force measuring, per se.

116, Signals and Indicators,

112+, for a pressure responsive mechanical alarm, per se, providing a humanly perceptible signal in response to a predetermined fluid flow, and subclass 266 for a pressure responsive mechanical indicator which provides a humanly perceptible signal in response to the presence or the absence of fluid flow.

166, Wells,

64, 66, and 113 for detail of a well combined with determining fluid flow by measuring or detecting pressure wherein more structure than is necessary to perfect the test is recited.

175, Boring or Penetrating the Earth,

40+, for a process or means of determining fluid flow by measuring or detecting pressure combined with more than a nominal recitation of an earth boring process or apparatus.

340, Communications: Electrical,

611, for an electrical indicator or an electrical alarm which provides a humanly perceptible signal in response to a predetermined fluid flow via monitoring pressure and subclass 626 for an electrical indicator or alarm, per se, which provides a humanly perceptible signal in response to the detection of a predetermined pressure.

364, Electrical Computers and Data Processing Systems, 420+, for the application of an electrical computer or data processing to the determination of fluid flow in a borehole by measuring pressure wherein significant electrical computer or data processing detail combined with only nominally recited sensor structure are claimed.
