    The trailer tongue (North America) or coupling (outside North America) slips over a trailer hitch ball attached to a receiver hitch mount or integral with the hitch. A larger, heavy-duty gooseneck ball size: 3 in (76.2 mm) is typically used for towing greater than 10,000 pounds (4.5 t), and this towing capacity falls outside of the scope of SAE ...

  3. Rain gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_gauge

    Most modern rain gauges generally measure the precipitation in millimetres in height collected during a certain period, equivalent to litres per square metre. Previously rain was recorded as inches or points, where one point is equal to 0.254 mm or 0.01 of an inch. [16] Rain gauge amounts are read either manually or by automatic weather station ...

    AWOS IV Z/R: all AWOS III P/T parameters, plus freezing rain detection and runway surface condition. Also, custom configurations such as AWOS AV (AWOS A parameters plus visibility) are possible. Non-certified sensors may be attached to AWOS systems, but weather data derived from those sensors must be clearly identified as "advisory" in any ...

    These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission (final infiltration rate of 0.15–0.30 in (3.8–7.6 mm) per hour). HSG Group C: Soils with slow infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted. These consist chiefly of soils with a layer that impedes downward movement of water or soils with moderately fine to fine textures.

    A box rainfall simulator has a rectangular frame. A Norton ladder simulator is distinguishable by its large triangular frame. A rotating boom simulator is a permanent simulator with similarities to a center pivot irrigation system.

  9. Precipitation types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_types

    Precipitation is measured using a rain gauge, and more recently remote sensing techniques such as a weather radar. When classified according to the rate of precipitation, rain can be divided into categories. Light rain describes rainfall which falls at a rate of between a trace and 2.5 millimetres (0.098 in) per hour. Moderate rain describes ...
