Overview

The Casella TBRG is a robust and reliable transducer designed for use with existing logging systems. It features an aluminium alloy body and funnel with a precisely machined septum ring, providing a 400 cm² aperture. The tipping bucket mechanism is mounted on a cast aluminium-alloy base with a built-in spirit level for easy positioning, ensuring quick deployment and minimal maintenance.

Accurate and Precise Measurements

The TBRG uses lightweight injection-moulded plastic and stainless steel pins to minimize friction, employing a rolling motion for the tipping bucket. The mechanism is mounted on a cast aluminium-alloy base with a built-in spirit level for accurate positioning.

Durability

The rain gauge is made from non-corrosive materials, including heat-treated and coated aluminium alloy for the base and septum ring. Stainless steel mesh protects the inlet and outlet ports, and sealed reed switches ensure long life with minimal maintenance.

Accurate and Precise Measurements The TBRG mechanism is purposefully made from light weight injection moulded plastic and stainless steel pins, to reduce the likelihood of friction. This is achieved by creating a rolling motion rather than a pivoting motion when the bucket tips through the use of the stainless steel pins. The tipping bucket mechanism is mounted on a cast aluminium-alloy base, which incorporates a built-in spirit level to achieve correct and accurate positioning of the bucket. Solid, Durable and Long Lasting In order to withstand natures elements the Rain Gauge is manufactured...
