    Is the disc in the middle a float?

    Is it used for measuring the frequency of fluid "pulses" or jets, the sort that could come out of a peristaltic pump?

    no, nothing as complex as that.

    It has to stand on something, almost anything that will support it's weight, but that something has to have one important property for the device to function

    Assembling/dismantling is correct, automotive connection is also correct but this tool never comes into contact with car's or car parts.
    think about the people who fix cars.
