A system for weight measurement of solids in a flow stream. The system collects the solids from the flow stream in a recipient that is slidably mounted within a pressurized accumulator vessel, which is pressurized with a variable pressure due to the flow stream. A recipient stem connects the weight of the recipient to a load cell. A force on the recipient stem includes both the force of the weight of the solids and a force produced by the variable pressure acting on the cross-sectional area of the recipient stem. The variable pressure is also applied to a compensating stem to produce a compensation force that is used to cancel out the force acting on the recipient stem due to the variable pressure.
