Product Introduction

The KH.JD Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge is a high-precision automatic precipitation sensor designed for continuous rainfall monitoring in hydrological, meteorological, and environmental observation systems.

Using a calibrated tipping bucket measurement mechanism, the sensor accurately records rainfall amount, precipitation intensity, and rainfall duration, providing reliable precipitation data for outdoor monitoring applications.

The tipping bucket rain gauge is widely used in:

• Hydrological monitoring stations
• Weather observation networks
• Flood early warning systems
• Agricultural weather monitoring
• Environmental research projects
• IoT-based meteorological platforms

With stable long-term operation and automatic data acquisition capability, the KH.JD supports accurate rainfall analysis, water resource management, and weather monitoring applications.

How It Works

Rainfall enters the collector and flows into a calibrated tipping bucket mechanism.

When a predefined amount of precipitation is collected, the bucket tips and generates an electronic signal. The accumulated signals are converted into rainfall measurements and transmitted to monitoring systems.

This measurement principle provides:

• Continuous rainfall measurement
• Reliable precipitation quantification
• Automatic data recording
• Stable long-term outdoor operation
