Precipitation Gauge

Met One offers time-tested and reliable weather sensors that serve meteorological monitoring needs throughout the world. Met One's robust prodcuts are able to measure wind, temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, and visibility, in the face of torrential rain, snow and ice, extreme heat and drought, and every kind of weather nature manifests.

360 series precipitation gauges are high quality and reliable instruments that measure rain and/or snow. The tipping bucket allows for accurate and repeatable measurements and low maintenance. When a precise amount of precipitation is collected in one side of the bucket, gravity tips the assembly and activates a reed switch. A momentary electrical contact closure is provided for each increment of rainfall. The sample is discharged through the base of the gauge.

370D-380D series all-metal precipitation gauges measure rain and/or snow in all environments using a tipping bucket mechanism. The economical tipping bucket design allows accurate and repeatable measurements, requiring no regular maintenance. Each model in the 370D-380D series is optimized to meet particular site and sampling requirements, and exceed USEPA (United State Environmental Protection Agency) specifications.
