Rain Gauge TFA-Dostmann 47.1008 Black Transparent 122mm x 122mm x 305mm

A modern rain gauge made of weatherproof plastic for simple and accurate measurement of rainfall. The large-diameter measuring tube and clear scale provide precise readings even with low amounts of precipitation. A funnel-shaped lid reduces evaporation, and the practical holder allows the device to be inserted into the ground or mounted on a rod. The product is manufactured in Germany.

Advantages

Durable weatherproof plastic construction combined with a transparent measuring tube ensures visibility of the scale. The wide diameter improves measurement accuracy and the funnel lid minimises evaporation. Compact dimensions (122 mm x 122 mm x 305 mm) and a lightweight design (0.227 kg) allow easy handling and installation. The unit is produced in Germany, meeting consistent manufacturing standards.

How to use

Place the rain gauge on level ground in an open area away from buildings, trees and other obstructions to ensure undisturbed rainfall collection. Insert the holder into the ground or fix the gauge to a rod at the recommended mounting height. After rainfall, read the collected water level against the scale; empty and clean the measuring tube before reusing to maintain accurate results.

Recommendations

Check the gauge periodically for debris and insects. For the most consistent measurements, position the rain gauge at earthen level in a representative spot of the area you want to monitor and avoid locations where splash or runoff can enter the funnel.
