Heated rain gauge t041 TPWE

The TPWE series weighing gauge is designed to measure different types of atmospheric precipitation by measuring the weight of the precipitation itself. Whether it is rain, snow, or mixed, it precisely measures the precipitation weight defining both its amount and intensity. The TPWE is equipped with a special self-emptying mechanism making possible measurement of precipitation which is not limited by the bucket capacity. Once the bucket is almost full it tips and the water flows out through the outlet in the base plate. The emptying occurs fully automatically thanks to the special shape of the bucket. The process is very quick (less than one second) and therefore it doesn’t affect the measurement. The weighing system is protected by an enclosure in order to make the measurement not be influenced by the external environment. Furthermore, the integrated circuit board of the instrument can manage both self-diagnostic operations and processing for the correction of measurement errors due to vibrations caused by wind, dust in the air, temperature fluctuations and other parameters.
