Raingauges

SBS Aluminium Tipping Bucket Raingauge

The SBS Aluminium Raingauge is designed to cater for professional rain measurement requirements. It is used by many Meteorological and Hydrological Agencies worldwide.

The unique design and aerodynamic shape of the SBS raingauge increases measurement accuracy by capturing more rainfall than traditionally shaped cylindrical gauges, minimising outsplash and reducing rainfall losses caused by evaporation. This is done by minimizing the interference by airflows.

The funnel of the gauge is made from 2.5mm thick powder coated aluminium while the base is manufactured in LM6 marine grade aluminium. The gauge can therefore be installed in extremely hostile conditions.

ARG100 Low Cost Tipping Bucket Raingauge

The low cost ARG100 aerodynamic gauge has been designed to minimise this effect by presenting a reduced side area to the wind.

The gauge is manufactured in U.V.-resistant plastic by vacuum-forming techniques which allow costs to be minimised while producing a very rugged instrument of comparable precision to gauges fabricated in other materials, but at much lower cost.
