Abstract

See full text

The device embodying the invention uses a filter element encapsulating me acting like a sphincter, a means enabling an air flow to be generated through the filter element once the filter element has been encapsulated, and a means enabling measurement of at least one parameter relating to the fluid flow through the filter. The encapsulating means comprises a succession of encapsulation modules arranged coaxially end to end and each acting like a sphincter, independently of the others, by means of a control means separate from that of the others. The invention applies notably to the measurement of draw through the filter sticks used in filter-tipped cigarettes.
