DEF

Technique de remplissage des liquides non gazeux dans des contenants, qui fait usage de la pression hydrostatique.

CONT

Dans ce principe, également appelé soutirage en charge, l'élément moteur d'écoulement est la pression hydrostatique à l'orifice du bec (colonne de liquide entre cet orifice et le niveau dans la cuve) (...) Les becs sont placés directement sous la cuve, qui peut être classique ou annulaire, selon les dimensions de la machine. Dans le soutirage par gravité trois formules sont employées : gravité simple, gravité pression et gravité vide.
