CA 2121368

An impact flowmeter (10) includes a housing (12) having an inlet end, an outlet end, and an interior region (15), an inlet chute (18) having an open end for discharging material into the interior region (15) being coupled to the inlet end of the housing (12), a load cell (40) coupled to the housing (12) for generating an output signal, and an impact plate (32) coupled to the load cell (40). The impact plate (32) is aligned with the inlet chute (18) so that the material entering the housing (12) strikes the impact plate (32). The impact plate (32) deflects the load cell (40) in a measurement direction (64) to change the signal from the load cell (40) based on the flow rate of material. The flowmeter (10) further includes a stop (56) for biasing the load cell (40) in the measurement direction (64) to establish a preload condition on the load cell (40), a load cell mounting bracket (34) located outside the interior region (15).
