Cloudburst Weighing Precipitation Gauge

Cloudburst Weighing Precipitation Gauge complies with WMO 306 No.8 rainfall measurement standards

Cloudburst Weighing Precipitation Gauge uses a high precision load cell to measure the weight of water collected in a bucket mounted on the cell.

Not affected by external climate

Weighing measurement

Can measure any solid/liquid and mixed precipitation

No mechanical device, no maintenance issues with dumper rain gauge

Can measure any type of rainfall

Can collect data from all seasons of the year

Simple and convenient installation, maintenance-free

Lifetime calibration weighing system, no regular calibration required

Especially suitable for heavy rain/snow measurements

Real-time rain intensity range up to 3000mm/h

It comes with a heating device, with multiple heating methods to choose from, and can work normally under extremely harsh conditions such as heavy snow and frost.

Included temperature and wind compensation

Use temperature range from -40–60 degrees

Can be powered by solar energy and can be used for field measurement

Two specifications are used in wet and arid areas respectively

Setting up the USB interface is simple and convenient

RS485, SDI12 and pulse output, flexible and multi-purpose

Cloudburst Weighing Precipitation Gauge measurement principle

Pluvio2 uses high-precision electronic weighing principle for precipitation measurement. High-precision weight sensors can measure rainfall intensity at the same time, and internal electronic balance system

The evaporation amount of rainwater can also be measured with high accuracy. It can be equipped with an inverted siphon automatic drainage system and heating device, and is not affected by external weather changes. Low-power intelligent output

Out, solar powered or 12V battery powered can work normally.

In winter, antifreeze can be added to the rainfall bucket to measure snowfall. The snow will melt directly in the rainfall bucket and will not accumulate or freeze.

The instrument has its own wind compensation and precipitation detection functions, which can be used normally in strong wind areas in a timely manner. In addition, windproof shield accessories can better adapt to areas with heavy wind and sand such as the northwest.
