products_tipping_bucket_rain_gauges_mr3

The MR3 is non-heated rain gauge intended for a liquid precipitation measurement and the MR3H is heated rain gauge intended for a liquid and solid precipitation measurement.

A principle of the rain gauges function lies in an utilization of “tipping bucket” mechanism to get electrical pulses in dependence on a precipitation quantity.
Rain gauges are made from non-corrosive materials. The cylindrical casing, funnel, and also the circle in the upper part of the rain gauge, which creates the exact surface for the falling rain (catching area of the rain gauge) - all these parts are made from aluminum alloy. The tipping bucket mechanism is placed inside the rain gauge body on the plastic base.
