Products Description
The tipping bucket rain gauge is a hydrological and meteorological instrument. It is used to measure the rainfall in nature and convert the rainfall into digital information output in the form of switching values, so as to meet the needs of information transmission, processing, recording, display, etc.
This instrument is a primary instrument for precipitation measurement. The tipping bucket, its core component, adopts a three-dimensional streamlined design, making the water tipping of the bucket smoother and easier to clean. This is a precision rain gauge. During use, the tipping bucket and the outlet of the water-diversion funnel need to be maintained and cleaned regularly. When the instrument leaves the factory, the inclination angle of the tipping bucket has been adjusted and locked at the optimal inclination angle position. During installation, it can be put into use only by installing the tipping bucket and adjusting the base to be horizontal according to the requirements of this instruction manual.
Application
● Measuring key metrics including precipitation amount, precipitation intensity, and precipitation time.
● Applicable to relevant departments such as meteorological stations, hydrological stations, agriculture and forestry sectors, national defense, and field observation stations.
● Providing raw data for flood control, water supply scheduling, and water regime management of power stations and reservoirs.
Product Features
● The resolution has three options: 0.1mm/0.2mm/0.5mm.
● High precision, good stability, and in line with national standards.
● The tipping bucket components are well-manufactured, with small friction torque, so the components flip sensitively, with stable performance and reliable operation.
● The overall structure is made of 304 stainless steel, with strong rust-prevention ability and good appearance quality. The rain-receiving mouth is formed by integral drawing of a 304 stainless steel shell, with high finish and small error caused by stagnant water.
● A protective screen is built in the rain-receiving mouth to prevent leaves, mosquitoes, etc. from blocking the rain leakage mouth.
● A horizontal adjustment bubble is set inside the chassis, which can assist in adjusting the levelness of the equipment at the bottom corner.
● It has a clock circuit and can query the contents of up to 10 registers.
● Built-in heating wires, which start heating when there is snow in cold winter to ensure normal use in winter.
