Abstract

The invention relates to a measurement cell for granular or powdered products, including a fill opening in its upper portion. A cell according to the invention is remarkable in particular in that the plane of its fill opening, in the operational position, forms an acute dihedral angle with a horizontal plane in order by gravitation to limit the size of the dome formed by the product after filling. A cell according to the invention has numerous applications and may in particular be intended for measuring the moisture content of cereals, deaginous, or proteaneceous.
