Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring cell for analyzing solid granular or pulverous material, which measuring cell (1) is provided with an aperture (5) in the wall for a measuring window (6). Through the measuring window, the material fed in the measuring cell (1) can be analyzed according to the invention, so that inside the measuring cell (1) there is installed a feeder (10) in order to regulate the essentially continuous material flow passing through the measuring cell (1), and a guide member (8) in order to guide the material flow to pass by essentially near to the measuring window (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for drawing samples from material containing solid particles, which material is in a flowing motion. In the apparatus, the sampling member (3, 13, 24) is connected to an adjusting device (4, 15, 26) and a suction member (6, 17, 25) so that the material flow coming from the sampling member (3, 13, 24) by means of the adjusting device (4, 15, 26) can be directed via the suction member (6, 17, 25) to form the sample.
