NOTE

  • Attention is drawn to Note (2) following the title of subclass G05D and also the subdivisions of that subclass, according to which pressure regulators and flow regulators, e.g. flow regulating valves with pressure compensator, even with the whole regulating system contained in a valve, operating with or without auxiliary power, are covered by groups G05D 16/00 or G05D 7/00, respectively. However, details of the valve parts, per se, are classified in the appropriate groups of this subclass.
