Introduction of ABS tipping bucket rain gauge and stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge

Rain gauge (also known as a rain barrel) is an instrument used to measure precipitation. One common type of rain gauge is the tipping bucket rain gauge. Tipping bucket rain gauge is a commonly used precipitation observation device, which measures precipitation through a simple but reliable mechanical principle.

Tipping bucket rain gauge working principle:

1. Tipping bucket design: Stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge usually includes one or more funnels with large openings underneath, and one or more buckets that can be tipped above the funnels. When rainwater falls into the funnel, it accumulates inside the bucket.

2. Tipping bucket recording: When a certain amount of water accumulates in the bucket, the bucket is tipped over and the accumulated water is poured into a collector or recording device. Each time the bucket is turned over it represents a certain amount of precipitation.

3. Cumulative Record: The collector or recording device will record the number of times the bucket is turned over each time to get the total amount of precipitation in a certain period of time.

ABS tipping bucket rain gauge and stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge are two common precipitation observation devices, and they have some differences in terms of material, durability, and application scenarios. Here is the comparison between them and their respective applications:

ABS tipping bucket rain gauge and stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge material differences:

- ABS tipping bucket rain gauge: usually made of ABS engineering plastics, this material has good corrosion and abrasion resistance, as well as relatively lightweight.

- Stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge: made of stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance and durability, and is more suitable for use in harsh environments.

ABS tipping bucket rain gauge and stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge durability differences:

- ABS tipping bucket rain gauge: due to the use of ABS engineering plastics, relatively speaking, it may not be as durable as stainless steel rain gauge, but it can meet the demand in general.

- Stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge: Due to the use of stainless steel, it has better corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for long-term use in harsh environments.

ABS tipping bucket rain gauge and stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge application scenes:

- ABS tipping bucket rain gauge: due to the lightweight, corrosion-resistant and other characteristics, suitable for general meteorological observation, agricultural meteorological observation and general environmental monitoring and other occasions.

- Stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge: due to its durability and corrosion resistance, it is more suitable for meteorological stations, hydrological observatories in harsh environments, as well as occasions that require long-term stable operation.

 Rain sensor (Rain Gauge) is suitable for meteorological stations  (stations), hydrological stations, agriculture, forestry, national defense and  other relevant departments, used for remote measurement of liquid  precipitation, precipitation intensity, precipitation start and end time  It can be used for automatic hydrological monitoring and reporting  systems and automatic fifield monitoring and reporting stations for the  purposes of flflood control, water supply scheduling, power station and  reservoir water management, etc.

Overall, the choice of ABS tipping bucket rain gauge or stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge should be decided according to specific use scenarios and needs. For general meteorological observation and environmental monitoring, ABS material tipping bucket rain gauge has been able to meet the demand; while for long-term stable operation and use in harsh environments, stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge may be more suitable.
