Product Description

Snow Gauge (Mechanical Type)

This instrument is used to measure the depth of snow by collecting it to a particular point. This instrument find its wide application in meteorology to collect and calculate the value of solid precipitation. This works well for the measurement of Snow Water Equivalent.  Meteorologists and hydrologists are more likely to use  container attached to a funnel shaped gauge. When the basin is full or the snowfall has ended. The snowfall is then arrived at by multiplying the water equivalent times 10.

Accurately measures fallen snow depths up to 30. Permanently marked, large, white 1/2 graduations on a green background are designed for reading from a distance. Gauge self-adjusts by sliding down the legs to allow for accurate measuring no matter how far the supports are positioned in the ground. Spring steel legs are designed to withstand blizzard-force winds. Weather-resistant corrugated plastic gauge provides years of trouble-free use. Dimensions: 42 x 4 x 1/8.



Precision Measurement for Reliable Data

With measurement accuracy within 2 mm and a clear, graduated scale, the mechanical snow gauge helps yield reliable and repeatable snowfall readings. Its simple operation ensures that users can quickly gather precise data crucial for weather monitoring and hydrological research, even in challenging field conditions.


Robust and Weatherproof Construction

Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal, this snow gauge withstands harsh weather throughout the year. The silver metallic finish and sturdy design mean it won't degrade easily, ensuring uninterrupted service in snowy and wet environments, making it an ideal choice for professionals working outdoors.


Easy to Use and Maintain

The snow gauge's straightforward design allows for both fixed and portable operation. It is low-maintenance and easy to clean after fieldwork, minimizing downtime and making it highly practical for repeated use by meteorological and research teams across India and beyond.

FAQ's of Snow Gauge (Mechanical Type):


Q: How do I use the mechanical snow gauge to measure snowfall?

A: To use the snow gauge, simply place it upright in the area where you want to measure snowfall. Snowfall accumulates in the cylindrical receiver, and you can manually read the snow depth from the clearly graduated scale (in centimeters and millimeters) marked on the gauge.

Q: What is the maximum depth of snow this gauge can measure accurately?

A: This mechanical snow gauge is graduated to accurately measure snow up to 100 cm in depth, with a fine accuracy of 2 mm to ensure precise readings in various field environments.

Q: When should I take snow measurements using this gauge?

A: Measurements are typically taken after a snowfall event or at scheduled intervals, depending on your research or monitoring requirements. Consistent timing-such as once every 24 hours-helps maintain data accuracy.

Q: Where is this snow gauge best suited for use?

A: The snow gauge is ideal for outdoor use in meteorological stations, hydrological research sites, and field study locations. Its robust, weatherproof construction makes it suitable for snowy regions or wherever snowfall measurement is necessary.

Q: What is the benefit of the corrosion-resistant metal body?

A: The corrosion-resistant metal body protects the gauge from rust and degradation, ensuring reliable operation and longevity even in harsh, wet, and cold weather conditions, reducing maintenance needs.

Q: How should I maintain and clean the snow gauge?

A: After each use, rinse off residual snow and any debris with water and wipe the gauge dry. Regular inspection for any damage and storage in a dry place will further extend its lifespan and retain measurement accuracy.
