The TB4 Tipping Bucket Rain Gage has been added to our US and International Price Lists and is offered alongside the CS700.
Both gages are manufactured by Hydrological Services Pty. Ltd. Like the CS700, the TB4 measures its catch in 0.01" increments and has a siphoning mechanism that causes captured rain to flow to the tipping buckets at steady rates, enabling accurate measurements during intense rainfall events (up to 700 mm
hr-1).
The major difference between the gages is the base. The TB4 has a white, UV stabilized plastic base whereas the CS700 has a powder-coated aluminum base. As a result, the TB4 is less expensive and weighs less.
