ABSTRACT:
The density of an elongate fiber mass, in particular a fiber or filament sliver or roving, or a roll of tobacco, is continuously measured by passing the mass through a channel, supplying a fluid "e.g. air under pressure" to a transverse groove in the channel wall so that the fluid escapes along the channel at a rate dependent on said density, and measuring the pressure of the fluid upstream of the groove. Two further transverse grooves in the channel wall, between the first-mentioned groove and the ends of the channel, serve to extract the fluid, whereby the fluid flow and hence the density measurement are rendered independent of conditions at the channel ends. Preferably, a supplementary collector is provided between at least one end of the channel and the associated further groove, to extract any air that may enter the channel end.
