Help - I need to calibrate correctly my pluviometer

Post by finikiito »

Hello everybody.

I wanted to thank you in advance and introduce myself to the forum.

I have recently purchased a rain gauge for my weather station.

It is calibrated to 1.2594 by default.

I have measured and weighed 100ml of water (100gr) and poured slowly, counting approximately 50 pulses.

If I divide 100 by 50 I have a value of 2 (following their instructions).

Is this the correct value? I find it very strange that it is so different from the factory default value.

Hi, I suppose not, although I don't know how different the devices may be.
You need to pour very slowly, in my experience 100 milliliters should be poured for at least 5 minutes.
