A weighing device includes at least one weighing cell (3) disposed in a weighing cell housing (5) and a control cabinet (1). The control cabinet (1) includes a gas pressure control (7) to which can be connected a source with gas overpressure (9). The control cabinet (1) includes an outlet opening (11) through which the gas can exit. The control cabinet (1) is connected with the weighing cell housing (5) through a first connection (13) for supplying gas into the weighing cell housing (5), and through a second connection (15) for gas removal from the weighing cell housing (5). The gas pressure connection (7) is connected with the first connection (13) through a flow guide means (17), so that at least one part of a supplied gas first flows through an interior of the weighing cell housing and subsequently it exits through the outlet opening (11) of the control cabinet (1).
