Tipping bucket rain gauge Price

Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge.

A Tipping bucket rain gauge, also known as a Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor, is an instrument used to measure rainfall. It works by collecting rainwater and pouring it into a bucket with a tilting surface. Whenever the rainwater in the bucket reaches a certain amount, the bucket will turn over, thus recording the amount of rainfall once. With the advantages of simple structure, high accuracy and easy maintenance, the bucket rain gauge is a kind of rainfall measuring equipment widely used in meteorology, hydrology, agriculture and other fields.

1.The basic composition of tipping bucket rain gauge

Tipping bucket rain gauge is generally composed of two parts: sensor and display recorder. The sensor is the core component, usually by the bucket, the rain mouth, sending element and so on. The tipping bucket collects and measures the rainfall by turning over, and each turn corresponds to a certain amount of rainfall and triggers the transmitting element to generate signals. The display recorder is responsible for receiving these signals and displaying, recording or storing them for subsequent data analysis and processing.

2. Introduction and price of different materials and types of Tipping bucket rain gauge

1. ABS Tipping bucket rain gauge

ABS Tipping bucket rain gauge is made of ABS engineering plastics, which has the advantages of excellent corrosion resistance, impact resistance and low cost, etc. It can effectively resist the erosion of rainwater and the influence of the environment to ensure long-term stable operation, suitable for outdoor use. The price of ABS Tipping bucket rain gauge is around 60-100 USD, which is very suitable for users with limited budget but high demand.

2. Stainless steel Tipping bucket rain gauge

Stainless steel Tipping bucket rain gauge is made of stainless steel, which has higher corrosion resistance and strength. Compared to ABS material, stainless steel rain gauge has a longer service life and is suitable for harsh environments. Price-wise, the market price of stainless steel Tipping bucket rain gauge is around $100-200.

3. Double tipping bucket rain gauge

Tipping bucket rain gauge adopts two tipping buckets design, which can measure the rainfall twice at the same time and improve the measurement accuracy. In addition, the double tipping bucket rain gauge also has an automatic calibration function, reducing human error. It is suitable for the occasions that require high accuracy of rainfall measurement. However, due to its complex structure and higher manufacturing cost, the price of double tipping bucket Tipping bucket rain gauge is also relatively high, price-wise, the market price of double tipping bucket Tipping bucket rain gauge is about 150-300 USD.

When choosing Tipping bucket rain gauge, users need to pick the right material and type according to their actual needs and budget. Here are some suggestions:

1. for general outdoor use, ABS Tipping bucket rain gauge is sufficient and cost-effective.

2. For use in harsh environments, it is recommended to choose stainless steel Tipping bucket rain gauge to ensure the stability and service life of the instrument.

3. for the rainfall measurement of higher precision requirements, you can consider the purchase of double tipping bucket rain gauge.

In short, when purchasing Tipping bucket rain gauge, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the material, performance and price and other factors, and choose the most suitable product for your needs.

Conclusion

In conclusion, as an important rainfall measurement equipment, Tipping bucket rain gauge plays an irreplaceable role in meteorology, hydrology, agriculture and other fields. Different materials and structures of tipping bucket rain gauge have their own advantages and disadvantages, users can choose the right product according to their needs and budget. Whether it is the lightweight and economical type made of ABS, the high-end and durable type made of stainless steel, or the high-precision type with double tipping bucket structure, all of them can provide users with accurate and reliable rainfall data support.
