Method for measuring force exerted on a measuring machine, comprises introduction of an additional active force which may be produced by a moving projectile, stream of fluid or electromagnetically

摘要

A product such as grain whose weight is to be measured is held in a container (11) which has a side extension (17) and lid (16). The base of the container is supported by resisting elements (31) which may be made from Silentbloc and displacement is measured by Hall type units (3). An additional active force is introduced by a moving projectile (2) and the additional deflection measured. An independent claim is also included for the use of the equipment on combine harvesters to measure the specific gravity of samples.
