Rain gauge sensor price

Rain gauge sensor price should be quoted from project requirements rather than a fixed number. Measurement type, resolution, output signal, material, cable, mounting and integration scope all affect the quotation.

Main quotation factors

Type and resolution affect selection

NiuBoL rain gauge options include tipping bucket, stainless steel tipping bucket, piezoelectric and different resolution configurations. Verified product pages list options such as 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm tipping bucket resolutions, depending on model.

A hydrological or stormwater project may value finer rainfall records, while a basic farm or site station may need a simpler accumulated rainfall channel. The buyer should define the reporting requirement before asking for price.

Output and system cost

A low device price can be a poor comparison if the output does not match the logger or platform. Pulse, switch, voltage and RS485 outputs require different receiving hardware and scaling work.

For a complete quotation, include the rain gauge, cable length, mounting bracket, data logger, power, enclosure, communication and platform requirement if needed. This gives a more accurate project price than comparing sensor-only numbers.

Project FAQ

Q1: What affects rain gauge sensor price?

Measurement principle, resolution, material, output signal, cable length, mounting accessories, logger connection and platform integration all affect the quotation.

Q2: Can you give a fixed rain gauge sensor price?

A fixed price is not reliable without project details. Buyers should request a quotation based on model type, output, quantity, accessories and integration requirement.

Q3: Is RS485 more expensive than pulse output?

The device and system cost may differ because RS485 needs digital communication setup while pulse output needs correct counting and scaling. The right choice depends on the receiving system.

Q4: Which resolution should be selected?

Select resolution by reporting need and application. The logger must use the same resolution setting as the rain gauge to avoid wrong accumulated totals.

Q5: What details should be sent for quotation?

Send application, rainfall reporting requirement, output type, power, cable length, mounting method, data logger or platform need and site environment.

Q6: What should be checked after purchase?

Verify physical installation, output signal, rainfall scaling, accumulated total, timestamps, data upload and maintenance access.

Summary

Rain gauge sensor price depends on measurement type and system scope. A useful quotation should include output compatibility, accessories and data integration, not only the sensor body.
