G 05CONTROLLING; REGULATING (specially adapted to a particular field of use, see the relevant place for that field, e.g. A 62 C 37/00, B 03 B 13/00, B 23 Q)


G 05 DSYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING OR REGULATING NON-ELECTRIC VARIABLES (for continuous casting of metals B 22 D 11/16; valves per se F 16 K; sensing non-electric variables, see the relevant subclasses of G 01; for regulating electric or magnetic variables G 05 F)


 Notes

(1)This subclass does not cover features of general applicability to regulating systems, e.g. anti-hunting arrangements, which are covered by subclass G 05 B.

(2)In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:

 "systems" includes self-contained devices such as speed governors, pressure regulators.

(3)Control systems specially adapted for particular apparatus, machines or processes are classified in the subclasses for the apparatus, machines or processes, provided that there is specific provision for control or regulation relevant to the special adaptation, either at a detailed level (e.g. A 21 B 1/40 : "for regulating temperature in bakers' ovens") or at a general level (e.g. B 23 K 9/095 : "for automatic control of welding parameters in arc welding"). Otherwise, classification is made in the most appropriate place in this subclass.

 The following are lists of places where there is specific provision of the kind referred to above. Where such provision is at a detailed level, the places have been grouped according to the main groups of this subclass. Where the provision is at a general level (e.g. of a kind appropriate to more than one of the main groups specified in the lists, or to main groups G 05 D 27/00 or G 05 D 29/00), the places are listed under the title "General References".
