Anemometer Pack

Rain Gauge Pack


The Rain Gauge Pack combines a `tipping bucket' type rain gauge and a Count Tachometer adaptor capable of measuring the amount of rain fall in 1mm droplets.

When used as part of a data logging experiment students can begin to explore rain fall over time.

Collecting Rain Fall

As rain falls the water runs down through the collecting funnel into a self-emptying spoon which tips and empties each time the equivalent of 1 mm of rain has fallen. Total rainfall is measured by counting how many times the bucket tips.

The Rain gauge is wired to a 10 m lead that terminates in a 3.5 mm jack plug which connects to the Count/Tachometer adaptor.
