Abstract:
1. A test measure apparatus comprising: a cylindrical liquid containment section having a closed bottom; a cone section connected to the top of the cylindrical liquid section and sloping inward to a neck connecting end; a neck section having a first end connected to the neck connecting end of the cone section, and a second end opposing the first end, the second end forming a neck outlet opening, the combination of the cylindrical liquid containment section, the cone section and the neck section arranged to hold a volume of a volatile liquid from a dispenser having a dispenser meter; and a flow control component connected to the neck outlet opening, the flow control component having a length and cross sectional dimension for partial insertion into an inlet of a pour vapor-containment apparatus for containment and generation of a volatile liquid vapor-saturated environment and forming an inserted flow control component and inlet interface, the flow control component comprising a spout in the shape of a skewed elliptical cylinder having a base opening and an outlet opening, the base opening attached to the neck outlet opening, and the outlet opening opposite the base opening, the elliptical cross sections of the spout having a decreasing major axis as the elliptical cross sections progress from the base opening to the outlet opening, the inserted flow control component and inlet interface establishing a vapor seal as the test measure apparatus is rotated about vertical to pour and drain any volatile liquid in the test measure apparatus into the pour vapor-containment apparatus while the vapor-saturated environment in the pour vapor-containment apparatus flows into the test measure apparatus.
