SPIEA direct reading rain gauge

The rain gauge consists of two interlocking plastic parts:

1- The upper part of the rain gauge is opaque, shaped like a funnel with a perforated bottom, and serves to collect the rain over an area of 400 cm2 , which is very precisely defined by its bevelled edge. The angle of this funnel is designed to minimise the splashing of rain outside the receiving surface.

2- The lower part of the rain gauge is transparent and stores the collected water and indicates the height of the rainfall by direct reading on a graduated scale:

• in millimetres for rainfall between 0 and 10 mm with an approximation of 1/4 millimetre
• in centimetres for rainfall between 1 and 10 cm, with an approximation of 1/2 millimetre. This approximation is sufficient for rainfall of this magnitude.

The rain gauge is sold with the following parts visible on the pictures:  the opaque upper part, the transparent lower part, the green support. We do not sell the leg that goes into the ground and onto which the support can be fixed.

Attention: This rain gauge is not delivered with the 8.2 mm measuring cylinder, for this see the rain gauge REF SPIEA 1650-02.
