◀◀ Key Selling Points ▶▶
0.2 mm Resolution: The tipping bucket tilts once for every 0.2 mm of rainfall, offering higher precision.
0.5 mm Resolution: The bucket tilts once for every 0.5 mm of rainfall, providing lower resolution but more suitable for heavy rainfall conditions.
Key Differences
| Aspect | 0.2 mm Resolution | 0.5 mm Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Accuracy | Higher, captures light rain, drizzle, and early rainfall | Moderate, focuses more on total rainfall |
| Data Update Frequency | High (more frequent tipping events) | Lower (fewer tipping events) |
| Best for Rainfall Intensity | Light to moderate, continuous precipitation | Heavy rain, storms, short-term downpours |
| Maintenance Needs | More frequent tipping, slightly higher mechanical wear | Less frequent tipping, longer service life |
| Typical Applications | Meteorology, research, agricultural water management, urban drainage planning | Flood warning, storm monitoring, reservoir hydrology, emergency response |
Research & Precision Meteorology
When fine-scale rainfall detection is critical → Choose 0.2 mm
Examples: Agricultural irrigation scheduling, climate studies, urban stormwater management.
Storms & Disaster Prevention
When the priority is rapid detection of heavy rainfall and total volume → Choose 0.5 mm
Examples: Flood forecasting, flash flood early warning, reservoir spillway monitoring, landslide prevention.
Operation & Maintenance Considerations
Remote or hard-to-access stations → 0.5 mm (more durable, less wear)
Research stations with dedicated maintenance → 0.2 mm (higher accuracy)
✅ In short:
0.2 mm resolution → Best for accuracy and light rainfall monitoring (research, agriculture, meteorology).
0.5 mm resolution → Best for heavy rainfall and flood warning applications (disaster prevention, hydrology).
