Stainless Steel Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge (0.2 mm Resolution) for Hydrological Monitoring
High-Precision Precipitation Sensor for Weather Stations, Flood Warning and IoT Environmental Monitoring Networks
Product Introduction
The KH.JDS02 Stainless Steel Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge is a high-precision automatic precipitation sensor designed for continuous rainfall measurement in hydrological, meteorological, and environmental monitoring systems.
Featuring a 304 stainless steel structure and a calibrated tipping bucket mechanism, the sensor provides accurate measurement of rainfall amount, precipitation intensity, and duration for long-term outdoor deployment.
With excellent corrosion resistance and high measurement stability, the KH.JDS02 is suitable for professional rainfall observation applications including hydrological stations, meteorological networks, flood warning systems, and IoT-based environmental monitoring platforms.
It is widely used in:
- Hydrological monitoring stations
- Meteorological observation networks
- Flood early warning systems
- Environmental monitoring projects
- Agricultural weather observation
- IoT rainfall monitoring systems
The KH.JDS02 provides reliable precipitation data to support water resource management, weather analysis, and disaster prevention applications.
How It Works
Rainfall is collected through the stainless steel funnel and directed into a calibrated tipping bucket mechanism.
Each tipping action represents a fixed rainfall amount of 0.2 mm. The generated signals are recorded electronically and transmitted to monitoring systems for data processing and analysis.
This measurement method provides:
- Continuous rainfall monitoring
- High repeatability
- Accurate precipitation quantification
- Reliable long-term outdoor operation
