Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges/Rain Sensors

A rain gauge or tipping bucket is a device used by meteorologists, hydrologists, students and many others to measure and monitor total rainfall.
Have you ever wondered how much rain fell during a storm or how much water your garden received? Rain gauges are essential instruments that help us measure precipitation accurately.

What does it do?

A rain gauge is a meteorological device used to measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a specific time-period. It helps us quantify rainfall and provides valuable data for various purposes, including agriculture, weather monitoring, and hydrological analysis.

Stay informed and ready for the rain, one drop at a time. Rain gauges/Tipping Buckets can be connected directly to a data logger, PLC or SCADA. AWM Instruments offers a pulse to 4 - 20 mA converter for installations that require converting the rain gauge’s pulse output to analog 4 - 20 mA, additionally we offer data loggers, wireless telemetry for a continuous rainfall monitoring station.
