Date May 31, 1990.A method for measuring the solid volume of a load of timber comprises the steps of introducing the load (9) into a compartment (2) which is hermetically sealable against the ambient atmosphere and located in a housing (1) into which is gradually introduced a fill-out means (4,5) intended to reduce the volume, and thus increase the pressure, of the gas in said compartment; determining, after at least a certain excess pressure has been established in said compartment, the product of gas volume and gas pressure as a first reference value; and measuring the solid volume of the load as the difference between said first reference value and a second reference value of the product of gas volume and gas pressure, determined under identical conditions, but with no load in said compartment. The load (9) is introduced into the housing (1) on a goods vehicle (8), more precisely through a hermetically sealable gate (3,3') of the housing, and is left on said vehicle while the first reference value is being determined, where upon the vehicle is removed from the housing through a hermetically sealable gate. |
