5581 2021-11-18 Bouldin Corn Precipitation Calibration Bouldin Corn Precipitation I adjusted the screw 1 turn CCW before testing b/c I forgot to adjust it after the previous test. We dripped 240ml of water through the bucket using a peristaltic pump powered with a lithium battery. This should result in 50 tips in about 20 minutes. We got 49 tips and I called it good until next year.
