Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for displaying the pouring quantity suitable for a pot, in particular a flowerpot, and a volume measuring tape that can be used for this purpose.
- the determination of a pot volume is particularly important if it is to be estimated how much water is necessary or compatible for a plant which is used in this pot. Of particular importance is the determination of the amount of water for plants that are used in a clay granulate, for example Seramis ® .
- the advantage of such clay granules lies not only in their water storage capacity, but also in the fact that, when the pot volume is known, an optimal pouring quantity can be determined, which, for example, is V ⁇ of the pot volume when using Seramis ® . If this volume is not fully utilized, short pouring intervals result, in which case the advantage of the clay granules does not come into play. Pouring over, however, is the most common maintenance error in plants in clay granules, which in extreme cases can cause the plant to die.
- the pot volume can be determined, for example, by estimating, calculating or measuring the volume, whereby experience has shown that the pot volume is estimated by most consumers, which leads to uncertainties when watering and means a certain risk for the plants.
- the calculation of the pot volume or the calibration are very complex options that a consumer generally uses very rarely.
- V ⁇ (D / 2) 2 x H given, where V represents the volume, D the diameter and H the height of the pot.
- V represents the volume
- D the diameter
- H the height of the pot.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying the amount of water suitable for a pot, in particular a flowerpot, which can be carried out quickly and easily. It is also an object of the invention to provide a means by which this method can be carried out by a consumer without any problems. According to the invention, the object relating to the method is achieved by a method for displaying the pouring quantity suitable for a pot, in particular a flower pot, by determining the volume V of the pot from the sum of the height H and the diameter D of the pot.
- the method is characterized according to the invention in that the diameter D is recorded in the area of the pot opening, a correction factor for the pot rim and / or conical pot shapes being preferably taken into account.
- the object according to the invention is achieved by a volume measuring tape with at least one scale for reading the volume of a pot and / or the amount poured for the pot, determined in a method according to one of the preceding claims.
- the invention is characterized in that a first scaling on the volume measuring tape is divided into length units, for example in centimeters, and / or a second scaling on the volume measuring tape is divided into volume units, for example in milliliters.
- a third scaling takes into account a correction factor for the pot edge.
- a fourth scaling takes into account a correction factor for conical pot shapes.
- first, third and / or fourth scaling are formed in one, and / or the second, third and / or fourth scaling are formed in one.
- the invention is characterized in that the volume measuring tape is designed to be flexible and / or flexible so that it can be placed on the pot, preferably covering a shortest connection between two diametrically opposite edge points, one of which is in the bottom part and the other in the pot the pot opening of the pot is arranged.
- the volume measuring tape comprises paper, textile fabric, plastic or metal.
- the volume measuring tape can be rolled up, whereby it can preferably be at least partially unrolled for reading the at least one scale by applying a first force and automatically rolls up by applying a second force.
- the invention is therefore based on the surprising finding that, with the aid of the method according to the invention, a suitable casting quantity for a pot can be determined very precisely, but with simple means.
- the volume V of the pot is calculated taking into account the sum of diameter D and height H according to the following equation:
- the correct pouring quantity results from the volume determined using equation (3) by taking into account a factor specified for a corresponding clay granulate. If, for example, the pouring quantity for Seramis ® Y is the container volume, then equation (3) must be multiplied by a factor of 0.25 to determine the pouring quantity.
- FIG. 1 shows a section of a volume measuring tape according to the invention in a reduced size
- FIG. 2 shows a graphical plot of pot volume as a function of the sum of the pot height V and the pot diameter D after calibration and after calculation according to equation (3);
- FIG. 3 shows an illustration to illustrate the application of a volume measuring tape according to the invention to a pot
- Figure 4 16 pots, and
- FIG. 5 shows a graphic representation of the pouring quantities for the 16 pots shown in FIG. 4, which were determined both by gauging and with the aid of the volume measuring tape according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a volume measuring tape 1 according to the invention with a scaling 2. From the volume measuring tape 1, a suitable pouring quantity for a specific pot in milliliters can be read directly via the scaling 2, as described in detail later.
- the scale 2 of the volume measuring tape 1 can be derived from the relationship in the above equation (3), taking into account the pot edges.
- FIG. 2 shows pot volume V for different pots as a function of the respective pot height H and the respective pot diameter D, values on the one hand being determined by means of a calibration of the respective pot and values on the other hand which have been determined according to equation (3) above are applied. As can clearly be seen in FIG. 2, the values determined by the calibration and the calculated values for each pot agree very well.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the application of a volume measuring tape 1 according to the invention to a pot 3.
- the pot 3 comprises a bottom part 5, a pot rim 4 and a pot opening 6.
- the volume tape 1 is placed on the pot 3 so that the sum of the height H and the diameter D of the pot 3 can be determined simultaneously with a single measurement ,
- the volume measuring tape 1 covers a shortest connection between two diametrically opposite edge points of the pot 3, namely from a point in the base part 5 of the pot 3 to a point in the pot edge around the pot opening 6.
- the volume scale 1 according to the invention can be used to determine the volume of a pot with simple means.
- the volume scale 1 according to the invention is particularly suitable for determining the correct watering quantity for plants which are used in a flower pot with clay granules.
