Abstract: The invention relates to a non-encased weighing cell which with a view to resistance to environmental influences and high measuring accuracy has been improved to the effect that at least the predominant part of the surface (12) and/or of the surface (14) is inclined such that in the installed state, as intended, of the weighing cell any water hitting the weighing-cell body (1) can flow away, wherein the angle ?1 between the inclined part of the surface (12) and the perpendicular circumferential surface of the trunk (3) and/or the angle ?2 between the inclined part of the surface (14) and the circumferential surface of the foot (4) is larger than 90°, and in particular is between 93° and 120°. Furthermore, a non-encased weighing cell is stated in which the balancing electronics are provided in one of the transverse holes (7).
