Abstract
Apparatus for determining weight of a container moving along a path past a weighing zone with radioactive source and detector mounted on opposite sides of the path for directing a radiation beam through the container passing through the weighing zone. Counters for counting radiation detector output pulses and reference timing pulses, with position sensors providing a gating for the counters so as to count when a container is moving past the radiation beam. The quotient of the two counts provides a measure of weight of a container.
