Joss-Tognini tipping-bucket rain gauge

The 15189 rain gauge measures rainfall with a self-emptying tipping-bucket mechanism. Their specific, Joss-Tognini, shape limits the risk of partial emptying and measurement errors.

Preorder

The 15189 rain gauge is a dependable, durable and economical solution to measure rainfall. Although it can show less precision than weighting rain gauges (like the rain[e] series) due to its tipping-buckets mechanism, it's suited for most applications, including in industrial plants. Its rain collection surface of 200cm² meets the standards of the World Meteorological Organisation in terms of precision.

It's made out of steel and aluminium, which makes it very durable.

The tipping buckets are available in two sizes: 2cm² (for moderate rains, more precise) and 4cm² (for heavy rains, like in the tropical regions). The rainfall is measured through the tipping of the buckets, with a reed switch. Two electronic outputs are available, one with an anti-bouncing system and the other without, for dataloggers such as the Met[LOG] or Ser[LOG] which already have a bounce filter.

Heating options are available upon specific request for cold climates.
