An apparatus 2 for measuring the capacity of a container C comprising: a laser measurement device 3, adapted for generating a ray R for measuring a distance; an actuating device 5, adapted for moving said apparatus 2 in order to perform the measurement of the capacity of said container Cat least one bearing shaft 4, which is adapted to be inserted, at least partially, into container C through an opening C0; an optic deflector 31, adapted to deflect said ray R in a desired direction; at least one electronic control device 8, adapted to calculate the position of the optic deflector 31 and to process the data obtained from said laser measurement device 3. Said laser measurement device 3 is arranged outside of container C, and optic deflector 31 is associated to said bearing shaft 4. Said actuating device 5 is able to cause said optic deflector 31 to rotate around longitudinal axis k of shaft 4 and to move deflector 31 itself along a direction that is parallel to longitudinal axis k of shaft 4. Said apparatus 2 allows the measurement of the capacity of a container C for explosive or inflammable substances. |
