A scale has a load receiving member and a force receiving member coupled to the load receiving member by flat springs. The force receiving member transmits the force to be measured to a measuring cell. A hydraulic damper is connected in the force transmission path between the load receiver and the force receiver rather than between the force receiver and the frame of the scale as is current practice. The effects of viscous friction in the damper on the accuracy of the scale are thereby eliminated. The container holding the hydraulic fluid of the damper is sealed by a simple packing ring. Overload protection for the measuring cell is provided by a preloaded spring which is connected in series with the damper in the force transmission path.

Weighing scale having a hydraulic damper intercoupled between the load

A sample preparation device comprising a wet mill having a lower discharge opening for discharging crushed wet material from the mill. A continuous flow centrifuge is arranged at a lower level than the mill. Flow means provide a direct communication between the discharge opening and the centrifuge for the direct transfer of the crushed wet material from the mill into the centrifuge.
