HD2015 tipping bucket rain gauge

Product Description

The HD2015 Rain Gauge is a reliable instrument designed for precise measurement of rainfall intensity and accumulation using a tipping bucket mechanism, in accordance with WMO guidelines.

Rainwater is collected through a corrosion-resistant funnel and directed into a calibrated bucket that tips when a predefined volume is reached, generating a pulse signal for accurate rainfall calculation. Its 200 cm² collector area ensures consistent and standardized measurements.

For harsh environments, the HD2015 is available with an integrated heating system, automatically activated at around +4°C, enabling accurate measurement of rain, snow, and ice. With a removable filter and non-stick coating, maintenance is simple and reliable for long-term outdoor use.

Key Features:

• Tipping bucket mechanism for accurate rainfall measurement
• WMO-compliant design for standardized observations
• Collector area: 200 cm²
• Multiple resolutions: 0.1 / 0.2 / 0.5 mm per tip
• High accuracy: ±2% (with correction curves)
• Maximum rainfall rate: up to 600–1000 mm/h
• Pulse output (NC contact) for easy integration with data loggers
• Optional heated versions (12 V or 24 V DC) for snow and ice conditions
• Automatic heating activation at ~+4°C
• Corrosion-resistant construction for long-term durability
• Removable filter and non-stick funnel for low maintenance
• Integrated bubble level for proper installation
• IP65 protection for outdoor environments

The rain gauge can be easily mounted on the ground or a metal structure, without additional accessories. We also supply rain gauge data loggers or web/wireless data loggers supporting contact output to record the rainfall data.
