Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / fuel consumption (on a ship)
French term or phrase: biberon
Term in context: "une instrumentation dédiée sera installée afin de vérifier les grands paramètres (mesure de couple, mesure de vitesse LA et mesure de la consommation gasoil par des biberons)".

I can't find any sensible results for "biberon" in this context - can anyone explain or suggest a more usual term which would make sense here?

Thanks!

graduated bottle


Explanation:
It is quite obvious that this is a graduated bottle, possibly reminiscent of a baby bottle, intended for measuring the fuel consumption.

  -> It seemed obvious to me. Also, note the certainty level. A "biberon" in the context of consumption and other measurements is likely a graduated container.
