The YOUNG Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge utilizes a proven tipping bucket mechanism for simple and effective rainfall measurement. The bucket geometry and materials are specially selected for maximum water release, thereby reducing contamination and errors.  Catchment area of 200 cm² and measurement resolution of 0.1 mm meet the recommendations of the WMO. Leveling screws and bullseye level are built in for easy and precise adjustment in the field. Measured precipitation is discharged through a collection tube for verification of total rainfall.

Model 52202 is heated for operation in cold temperatures.

An optional Bird Wire Assembly, Model 52250, may be use to discourage birds from perching on the funnel rim.

Heated models come with a standard 120 VAC to 24VAC power adapter for heater operation (230 VAC to 24 VAC for ‘H’ versions).
