Benefits and Features

Suitable for all types of climates and intensities of rainfall

Extremely robust and versatile for applications where data precision and accuracy are critical

Unique aerodynamic shape for accuracy of measurements, even in windy or exposed sites - supported by published academic research (Colli et al, 2018 & Pollock et al, 2018)

Precision injection moulded internal components resulting in outstanding accuracy and repeatabiilty

Meets all WMO recommendations for funnel area

External levelling bubble for easy levelling

No base plate required. Adjustable mounting feet also make levelling this gauge straightforward

Improved nozzle design - repeatable performance up to 1000 mm/hr

Technical Description

The internal tipping bucket mechanism has been designed o ensure maximum performance repeatability.

The ARG314 is a UV-stabilised injection-moulded plastic replica of the very successful, highly accurate aluminium SBS range.

Traditional cylinder-shaped rain gauges are inaccurate due to the effect of wind blowing over the orifice. The physical presence of the gauge causes air to accelerate, carrying rainfall away from the collecting vessel. The effect of this can be up to a 20% reduction in rainfall catch. The unique aerodynamic shape of this range of scientific standard rain gauges reduces this effect, ensuring a high level of confidence in the accuracy of our measurements.

Cables are available in 6 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m & 30 m lengths.
