13. A pressure bag, provided with an at least partly flexible fluid container and a pressure vessel extending therearound such that the pressure bag is of the bag-in-bag or bag-in-container type, the fluid container being provided with a connecting element for dispensing fluid therefrom and the pressure vessel being provided with connecting means for connection to a source for pressure fluid and therewith pressurizing the fluid container.
- 14. A method for dispensing fluid from an at least partly flexible fluid container, which fluid container is included in or forms part of a pressure bag, wherein the weight of the pressure bag having the fluid container therein is measured continuously or periodically while the fluid container is kept pressurized through supply of a pressure fluid in the pressure bag, while with the aid of a regulating unit, the pressure and the dispending of fluid is checked based on the measured weight and/or changes therein and a profile stored in the regulating unit or supplied thereto, while the discharge rate of fluid from the fluid container is controlled with the aid of a flow control unit in a dispensing tube.
