260-2510 Standard Rain and Snow Gauge

Precipitation 260-2510 Standard Rain and Snow Gauge The 260-2510 Standard Rain and Snow Gauge is a National Weather Service type all-aluminum rain gauge with a total capacity of 20" of rainfall. The gauge includes a funnel, measuring tube, overflow can and measuring stick with English and metric markings. The tripod support is sold separately. The upper portion of the funnel is cylindrical in shape and is turned to a fine edge. Rainwater falling into the funnel is delivered into a measuring tube. The cross- section area of the tube is one-tenth the cross-section area of the funnel. Therefore, when 1 inch of rain falls into the funnel, it fills the measuring tube to a depth of 10 inches. The scale on the measuring stick is expanded 10 times, and since the scale is graduated to hundredths of an inch, the correct rainfall depth of water in the tube is read directly to hundredths from the stick. The capacity of the measuring tube is 2" of rainfall. Any excess overflows into the outer chamber. The overflow water must be transferred to the empty measuring tube for direct measurement with the stick. In winter, the funnel and measuring tube are removed so that rain/sleet/snow/hail are collected by the outer chamber. The amount of precipitation is measured by melting the ice and then pouring the water into the measuring tube. 260-2510 Rain Gauge Features with 260-2510S Tripod National Weather Service Type Rain and Snow Gauge Total capacity 20 inches (500 mm) English / metric measuring stick included Optional tripod support stand Specifications Orifice 8" (200 mm) Capacity 20" (500 mm) Resolution 0.01" or 0.2 mm Construction White powder coated aluminum body, anodized aluminum funnel Dimensions 8.25" diameter x 24.75" height (210 x 630 mm) Weight / Shipping (gauge) 7 lbs / 8 lbs ( 3.2 kg / 3.6 kg) Weight / Shipping (tripod) 8 lbs / 10 lbs (3.6 kg / 4.5 kg) Ordering Information 260-2510 Standard Rain and Snow Gauge with Measuring Stick 260-2510S Tripod Support 260-2510MS English/metric Measuring Stick (24" length) NovaLynx Corporation PO Box 240 Grass Valley CA 95945 www.novalynx.com DOC 260-2510 DS 20210630 +1 (530) 823-7185 [email protected] .
