Rain gauge MIERIJ METEO

The measurement of precipitation is an important element in efforts to maintain the water balance. Mierij Meteo plays its part in this respect by providing meteorological consultancy services and developing new products.

The model 200 rain gauge operates on the basis of a tipping bucket mechanism. The bucket is available in capacities that correspond with precipitation of 0.2 mm. The bucket assembly acts as a seesaw. As soon as the upper bucket is full, the lower “empty” bucket is lifted to be filled, while
the lower bucket is drained. The tipping bucket pivots on bearings which minimizes friction and wear. Each tip generates an electrical impulse.
The total precipitation during a certain period of time equals the number of impulses multiplied by the contents of the bucket used multiplied by a
constant. The rain gauge is designed for accurate operation with trouble-free service
