 STANDARD RAIN GAUGE

The 8-inch Standard Rain Gauge

The 8-inch standard rain gauge hereafter referred to as SRG) is the workhorse of the National Weather
Service Coop Program. In fact, this gauge is the world-wide standard for measuring precipitation. The
gauge is your basic straight-sided cylinder and is the big brother of the 4-inch rain gauge. The
components are the same. Each has and outer cylinder which catches overflow from the inner
measuring tube. Both rain gauges have funnels which direct the precipitation into the inner measuring
tube. The SRG includes another component, a measuring stick graduated to hundredths of an inch.

For a long time the SRG outer cylinder (aka "the can") and funnel were made of copper, and the inner
tube was made of brass. Better and less expensive materials have for the most part replaced copper.
The outer cylinder of the SRG pictured here is stainless steel, the inner tube is made of poly carbonate
plastic, and the funnel is made of fiberglass. The outer cylinders are also made of aluminum. The
measuring stick is a laminated fiberglass that "wets" so that you can read the precipitation
measurement. Even with these newer materials there are issues. The outer cylinders can develop leaks
along the seams on the bottom, and those can be hard to detect. Both the brass and plastic inner
measuring tubes can be damaged and develop leaks in freezing weather.

One of the advantages of the SRG is its capacity. The inner measuring tube holds two inches of rain,
and the outer cylinder holds 20 inches of rain. However, that advantage is also a big disadvantage. The
8-inch outer cylinder holds about 4.3 gallons of water, and a gallon weighs 8.3 pounds. An observer
would have a difficult time lifting 35 pounds of water and even a more difficult time trying to pour
anything into the inner measuring tube. Four inches of water in the outer cylinder would be about a
gallon, and that plus the weight of the cylinder itself can be cumbersome to handle. It is definitely not
a one-person job. My personal experience with the 8-inch "can" and pouring led me to build a stand to
hold the inner tube while pouring from the can. The funnel is placed on the tube before pouring.

Once I became a observer I designed and built a smaller version for the gauge.
The 8-inch SRG is the standard at NWS primary Coop sites, but states "The four-inch plastic rain
gauge is a suitable substitute for the eight-inch standard rain gauge because it meets the accuracy
requirements". That accuracy is specified as ±0.02 inches
