METHOD FOR MEASURING THE VOLUME OF A BREAD OBJECT BY A PRESSURE DIFFERENCE MEASUREMENT AND ARRANGEMENT THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for measuring the volume (1') of a bread product (1) placed in a delimited space (2), where the volume (2') of the delimited space is larger than the volume (1') of the bread product, wherein information representative of the reduced volume (2") of the space due to the presence of the product constitutes a measurement magnitude for establishing the volume of the bread product. A single pressure source (4) adapted for a compressible gas or gas mixture is coupled to said delimited space (2) and also to a pressure-difference detecting sensor (6), via a common space (5). The delimited space (2) is also connected downstream to said pressure-difference detecting sensor (6), and a device (7) is used to evaluate the volume (1') of the bread object (1) on the basis of the information obtained from the sensor (6).
