A method for measuring a specific volume of solid particulate matter, comprising the steps of:
- pouring solid particulate matter into a device that comprises at least:
- a translating (rotating) cylinder;
- a stationary cylinder;
- a first gate mechanism;
- and
- a second gate mechanism;
- closing the second gate mechanism, if it is open, and opening the first gate mechanism, if it is closed;
- closing the first gate mechanism to define the volume being measured;
- and
- dispensing the measured volume of solid particulate matter from the device.
