6506 Tipping Bucket Flow Gauge

 

Tipping Bucket Flow Gauge 480x365

 

Overview


The 6506 Tipping Bucket Flow Gauge is sturdily constructed from polished stainless steel. It is used for small volumetric flows which exceed the capacity of common rainfall gauges. Typical applications include: monitoring rainfall under a tree canopy; leakage in water storage dams; seepage and runoff.

The tipping mechanism is manufactured from stainless steel and is of very solid construction ensuring that tips are accurate and consistent in volume. The detector is a a single Reed Contact that requires no power and is a simple two wire connection into a data logger, internet logger or PLCs.

It is generally pre-calibrated to 75ml/tip or 130ml/tip but it can be re-calibrated to any volume from 75ml to 130ml per tip.
