About this file

This is an engineering drawing specification for a Measuring Stick used in rain gauges, issued by the National Weather Service, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.

The measuring stick shall be manufactured from plastic thermosetting phenolic high-pressure laminate (NEMA Grade X) in black color, sourced from Norplex/Oak in Lacrosse, Wisconsin or equivalent. The stick measures 25.00 inches ±0.06 inches in length with specific dimensional requirements including width of 0.56 ±0.03 inches and thickness of 0.093 inches. Graduations and lettering must be imprinted with permanent, waterproof, hard white ink or paint directly onto the measuring surface. The stick shall be finished using 200-grit or finer abrasive on both sides to remove shiny finish and achieve a wettable measuring surface. Critical workmanship standards require the lower end be trimmed square and even, with warpage not exceeding 0.15 inch when laid flat in any direction. Accuracy specifications limit scale error to 0.04 inches from the measuring end to any index mark and between any two index marks greater than 2 inches apart. The sticks shall be packed in cartons containing ten units each, separated by paper sheets with snug-fitting packaging to prevent damage. Drawing number D040-M1-DR001 was last revised on 12/17/04, with the metric rule removed from the back as of 8/12/04.
