| |  Rain - RG12 Tipping Bucket Raingauge
Overview The RG12 Series tipping bucket rain gauge is sturdily constructed from polished stainless steel with a painted base and receiver funnel.
Gauze filters in the receiver and both outlets prevent debris (e.g. leaves, dirt, insects) from entering the working parts of the instrument.
The gauge is also fitted with a syphon to control and maintain a constant flow-rate into the bucket mechanism.
The tipping mechanism is manufactured from stainless steel aluminium and is of very solid construction ensuring that tips are accurate and consistent in volume. The syphon can easily be taken apart to clean. Algae and dirt will collect in this mechanism, thus making it essential that cleaning becomes an integral part of the maintenance program
