A gauging shovel head (10) which is used to repeatedly meter uniform amounts of, for example, powdered, granular or particulate materials, is disclosed. The head (10) includes tapering side walls (11) between which extend a rear wall (16), a bottom (21) and a raised lip (17) with a blade like front edge (18), which together form a flat topped measuring compartment (14). The shovel head (10) may be fabricated as a cast, forged, stamped or bent metal construction or made from cast or molded polymers, the lip (17) being either integrally formed with, or separately attached to the head (10). A method of usage is also disclosed. |
