CONT

In general, volumetric and flow-type spirometers each have advantages and disadvantages. In a volumetric spirometer, the subject's expired air may: (1) cause a collection bell to rise in a water jacket (water-sealed spirometer); (2) displace a piston horizontally in a cylinder, causing the seal between the piston and cylinder to roll on itself (dry rolling seal spirometer); or (3) fill a bellows (bellows spirometer).
