1. A system for weight measurement of solids in a flow stream, comprising:
an accumulator vessel connected to receive the flow stream;
a recipient mounted in the accumulator vessel to receive solids from the flow stream;
a load cell positioned outside of the accumulator vessel;
a recipient stem connected to the recipient and to the load cell;
a compensating vessel;
a compensator pressure feeding connection that fluidly connects between the accumulator vessel and the compensating vessel; and
a compensating stem that extends into the compensating vessel and connects to the load cell.
