Rain Gauge Pluvio2

OTT Pluvio2 is a rain gauge that uses advanced weighing technology to measure the amount and intensity of all types of precipitation.

 

The OTT Pluvio2 rain gauge is equipped with a precise weighing sensor. It features algorithms that compensate for disturbances caused by wind and temperature to provide the most accurate possible precipitation data.

 

Type: Weighing rain gauge

Tank size: Pluvio2 L – 35l, Pluvio2 S – 8l

Device measurement specifications:

  • Range – 0-50mm/min (0-3000 mm/h)
  • Accuracy – for total +/- 1mm or 1% of the measured value for intensity +/- 1 mm/min (+/- 6mm/h) or measured value

ADVANTAGES
  1. Measurement of total and intensity meets all requirements of WMO Directive 306 No. 8 (WMO – World Meteorological Organization)
  2. Resistant to disturbances from temperature changes and wind.
  3. Meets all requirements stated in WMO Standard 306 No. 8 (WMO – World Meteorological Organization)
  4. Precisely records even extreme precipitation with intensity up to 3,000 mm/h, exceeding WMO requirements (up to 2,000 mm/h)
  5. Accurate measurement of all types of precipitation (solid, liquid, and mixed) – no evaporation of precipitation from heated elements
  6. Factory calibration of the weighing sensor does not need to be repeated throughout the rain gauge’s lifetime
  7. Heating system of the rain gauge inlet prevents snow caps from forming, without causing precipitation evaporation
  8. Various communication interfaces allow easy integration of the rain gauge
  9. For specific locations or requirements, the smaller-sized S version can be used

 

APPLICATIONS
  1. Automatic meteorological measurement networks
  2. Urban hydrological-meteorological stations
