PURPOSE:To provide an apparatus for pushing out a sample container pressure received in a moisture measurement operating unit automatically therefrom upon finish of the measurement. CONSTITUTION:A moisture measurement operating unit 20 comprises a housing 21 for receiving a sample container 10 containing a sample through a lower opening 22. The housing 21 is pierced, on the upper part thereof, with a gas introduction needle 14 and a gasified moisture lead-out needle 15 which pierce a thin sheet cover of the sample container 10 received through the lower opening 22. The unit 20 further comprises a measuring board 23 arranged with a sample container push-out mechanism 30. The mechanism 30 is provided with a push-out means 32 which energize the sample container 10 resiliently at the time of pressure receiving and which is reset to project upon release of pressurized state thus ejecting the sample container 10.
