Unfortunately, the TB6 has been discontinued and has been replaced by the
TB7.
HyQuest Solutions TB6 Series II is a high-quality tipping bucket rain gauge for measuring rainfall in urban and rural locations. The TB6 is the device of choice for accurately measuring low rainfall events and still provides good accuracy measuring heavier rain events.
The tried and proven design of the TB6 Series II ensures long-term, accurate and repeatable results. It is manufactured from high quality, durable materials ensuring long-term stability in the harshest of environments. It consists of a robust powder-coated aluminum enclosure, a UV-resistant ASA polymer base, and stainless steel fasteners and finger filter.
TB6 Series II provides a finger filter that ensures the collector catch area remains unblocked when leaves, bird droppings and other debris find their way into the catch.
The base incorporates two water outlets at the bottom allowing for water collection and data verification.
Maintenance of the TB6 Series II is easy, because removal of the outer enclosure and access to the tipping bucket mechanism and finger filter assembly is made easy with quick release fasteners. The new more spacious enclosure makes maintenance even easier.
