ULTIMETER TB Rain Gauge, 40 ft.

The ULTIMETER TB Rain Gauge features a proven tipping bucket design. Inside each rain gauge is a balanced "see-saw" bucket mechanism. The bucket has a divider wall across the middle, separating it into two halves, each shaped like a miniature coal shovel, with high sides and an open end. The rain gauge's funnel top feeds rain water into one of the half-buckets. As soon as the correct amount of water has been collected, the "see-saw" tips the other way, automatically emptying the water and positioning the other half-bucket for collecting rainfall. Each time the bucket tips, .01" of rainfall is added to the accumulated total on the ULTIMETER weather station. 8-inch diameter collector funnel, for superior rainfall sampling. Cable lengths longer than 100 ft. available by special order.

WHY ARE THESE THE BEST TIPPING BUCKET GAUGES?

Stainless steel tipping axle, for freer motion and greater longevity.
Features larger-volume buckets than other tipping bucket gauges, to resist jamming (common in smaller-bucket designs) caused by dust, pollen, webs, etc. The larger the bucket volume, the more water weight "horsepower" for driving the tipping action.
They have larger collector diameters (8 inches!) than comparable gauges. The larger the diameter, the better the sampling of rainfall.
More accurate because of high vertical sidewalls to prevent splash-out of rain from the collector funnel.
Each gauge is individually calibrated for optimum accuracy.
They can be left outdoors in winter conditions without damage.
