ARG314 Rain Gauge

The ARG314 is the recommended solution for many hydrological or meteorological applications such as weather stations and flood warning systems. The ARG314 is a versatile gauge suitable for climates with all types and intensities of rainfall. The injection moulded UV-stabilised material from which the gauge is made means that the ARG314 is an extremely robust and versatile instrument, ideal for applications where data precision and accuracy are critically important.

Traditional cylinder-shaped rain gauges are inaccurate due to the effect of wind blowing over the orifice. The physical presence of the gauge causes air to accelerate, carrying rainfall away from the collecting vessel. The effect of this can be up to a 20% reduction in rainfall catch. The unique aerodynamic shape of the ARG314 rain gauge range reduces this effect, ensuring a high level of confidence in the accuracy of our measurements.

We combine the ARG314 with Gill’s MetPak and MaxiMet range of sensors to create a complete internet connected weather station via our cloud solution WeatherFile.com, contact us on +44 (0) 1590 641223 or email sales@r-p-r.co.uk to help specify your complete weather station solution.
