Abstract

See full text

A device for measuring a mass flow rate of a flow of particulate material which moves in a predetermined direction. The device includes a weighing cell, a first apparatus, a second apparatus, and a third apparatus. The weighing cell includes a tubular wall and is disposed to be passed through by a flow of particulate material. The first apparatus weighs the weighing cell and the quantity of particulate material contained in the weighing cell and produces a first signal. The second apparatus measures the speed of flow of the particulate material which flows through the weighing cell and produces a second signal. The third apparatus calculates the bulk density of the particulate material, calculates the mass flow rate of particulate material which flows through the weighing cell, and produces a third signal representing the mass flow rate of particulate material which flows through the weighing cell.
