DAILY RAIN GAUGE AZA1080
The Daily Rain Gauge is a fundamental precipitation measuring instrument used in meteorology, environmental laboratories, agriculture, hydrology, and educational weather stations. Designed for simplicity, accuracy, and durability, AZA1080 by AZALAB enables precise manual measurement of daily rainfall over fixed observation periods, typically 24 hours.
Manufactured from transparent, UV-resistant polycarbonate, this rain gauge provides excellent visibility of collected rainfall while withstanding prolonged outdoor exposure. Clearly graduated markings in millimeters (mm) ensure accurate and repeatable readings, making it suitable for both scientific monitoring and instructional use.
Description
AZA1080 features a funnel-topped cylindrical design that efficiently collects rainfall while minimizing evaporation and splash loss. The calibrated inner measuring tube allows precise readings even during light rainfall, while the outer container safely holds excess precipitation during heavy rain events.
The gauge is designed for manual observation and logging, making it ideal for locations where automated systems are unnecessary or impractical. It is widely used in research farms, rural and urban monitoring sites, laboratories, schools, and climate observation projects.
Installation is straightforward, requiring vertical mounting on a stable surface in an open area free from obstructions. When installed and read according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recommendations, AZA1080 delivers reliable and standardized precipitation data.
