NovaLynx - Model 260-2500 - Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges
The 260-2500 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges are dependable instruments used for measuring precipitation. Rainfall entering the 8" or 12" funnel collector is directed to the tipping bucket assembly. When an incremental amount of precipitation has been collected, the bucket assembly tips and activates a magnetic reed switch. The sample is discharged through the base of the gauge. A momentary electrical contact closure is provided for each increment of rainfall. ...

260-2501 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges
The 260-2501 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge was designed for the National Weather Service to provide a reliable, low-cost tipping bucket rain sensor. Its simplicity of design assures trouble-free operation, yet provides accurate rainfall measurements. The tipping bucket mechanism activates a sealed reed switch that produces a contact closure for each 0.01", 0.25 mm, or 1 mm of rainfall. The gauge has an 8" orifice and is manufactured of powder coated and ...

260-952 Alter-Type Wind Screen
The 260-952 Rain Gauge Wind Screen minimizes the formation of strong updrafts that can distort the trajectories of precipitation particles falling toward a gauge. The screen also generates turbulent air motions over the gauge orifice to break up streamlines and thus improve the catch. Use of a wind screen is recommended with all precipitation gauges located in windy ...

260-2510 Standard Rain and Snow Gauge
The 260-2510 Standard Rain and Snow Gauge is an all aluminum rain gauge with a total capacity of 20" of rainfall. The upper portion of the funnel is cylindrical in shape and is turned to a sharp edge. Rainwater falling into the funnel is delivered into the receiver. The ratio is 10 to 1, so that 1" of rainfall delivers 10" of water to the receiver. The capacity of the receiver is 2" of rainfall. Any excess overflows into the outer chamber so it can be ...

NovaLynx - Model 260-2520 - Forestry Rain Gauge
The 260-2520 Forestry Rain Gauge includes a removable funnel, a calibrated measuring tube, a black G-10 fiberglass epoxy laminate measuring stick graduated to 0.01" and 0.2 mm, and an overflow can. An optional support bracket is available. The measuring tube holds exactly 0.5". Any excess overflows into the outer chamber so it can be measured after the quantity in the measuring tube has been recorded and removed. Total gauge capacity is 7". When used as a ...
