Unprecedented Demand for Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges
Sep 12 2011
Specialists in hydrology and rainfall monitoring equipment, Casella Monitor (www.casellameasurement.com; 01234 844100) is currently basking in a 30% increase in sales of its high performance Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge (TBRG) over the past 18 months.
The TBRG incorporates new calibration multi-point methodology, which Casella Monitor believes has resulted in one of the best, most cost-effective solutions on the market at present.
Gary Noakes, Casella Monitor Market Manager explains: “We had unprecedented demand from international government bodies and the product is popular with companies who integrate the buckets into their own telemetry and hydrology systems. The increased need to monitor rainfall, especially for crop and flood protection, is driving demand across the globe.”
TBRGs are sensors for measuring rainfall level and events such as thunderstorms. The Casella Monitor TBRG model is a reliable and extremely robust transducer, designed as a stand-alone sensor for operation within an existing logging system, such as the Casella Automatic Weather Station.
Gary concludes: “We are currently drastically increasing stock levels to keep up with demand and ensure quality service to our customers.”
Comprising a divided bucket assembly which is pivoted at the centre, rain collects in one side of the bucket, which then tips when a predetermined volume of water has been collected. The tipping action discharges the collected water and repositions the opposite side of the bucket under the discharge nozzle ready for filling.
