The Evaporation Monitoring System measures how much water evaporates from a Class A evaporation pan by measuring the water level in an adjoining stillwell. The stillwell reduces fluctuations in the pan’s water level caused by wind.
The 6529-1 Manual Evaporation System comprises the following components:
- 6529C Evaporation Pan
- 6529D Bird and Leaf Cover
- 6529M Manual Measurement Components
6529-2 Semiautomatic Evaporation System records water level using a modified Model 6541C-31-C Water Level Instrument that is fitted with a 100mm circumference pulley. This provides measurements with a resolution of 0.5mm. An optional thermistor probe float assembly may be purchased to rest on the surface of the water in the pan to obtain a surface temperature reading.
6529-3 Automatic Evaporation System is designed to operate for long periods without maintenance. It is similar to the 6529-2 but automatically refills and discharges water from the evaporation pan.
