  • the latter is achieved in that the second component is introduced into a partial length of the liquid passage of the first component before introduction into the container and in this case the first component is displaced over this partial length, the first through the flow meter into one
  • a certain disadvantage consists in that the components may mix in the first liquid channel or in the partial length thereof and that the flow meter is flowed through in the opposite direction in the volume measurements of the first and second components, which leads to measurement errors and / or may require a complex calibration of the respective flow meter.
