Title: Sampling and weighing apparatus
Inventor: PAGE MICHAEL ANTHONY
IPC: G01N9/02
Filed: 1986-11-06
Abstract: The apparatus includes a sampling device for sampling a predetermined volume of a granular or particulate material, and a weighing device (9) having a readout (94) which can be scaled relative to the actual weight to provide a direct indication of the hectolitre test weight corresponding to the measured weight of a sample of smaller known volume. The sampling device may comprise a measuring cylinder (1) having slots (3) through which a slidable plate (4) is positionable. A weight (5) which is a close sliding fit within the cylinder (1) is placed therein to rest upon plate (4). The remainder of the cylinder above the weight is then filled with material to be sampled (eg cereal grain) and plate (4) is removed, allowing the weight (5) and material to fall. The material impacts with the cylinder base (3) and is thus compacted to a standard degree. The plate (4) is then re-inserted, the surplus material is removed, and the remaining standard volume confined by the plate is weighed by the device (9). Weight (5) is provided with a recess (8) in one face whereby the volume of the sample may be varied, depending upon which face of the weight lies uppermost. <IMAGE>
