WL Series at a Glance: Meteorological Box Specs

If you have not worked with the WL series before, this is the cheat sheet. WL1204-WL1504 are Small (under 200mm). WL1905-WL2808 are Medium (200-300mm). WL3812-WL5020 are Large (300-500mm). Within each tier, the model number encodes the length, width, height in cm.

ModelOuter (mm)Inner (mm)Weight (g)MaterialSize Class
WL2305 230×180×45 mm 225×150×40 mm 240 g PP Multimeter / Caliper
WL2808 275×230×82 mm 265×190×76 mm 480 g PP+AS Surveying Total Station
WL3812 380×320×120 mm 365×280×110 mm 1100 g PP+AS Theodolite / Level

The most common model for "Meteorological Box" buyers is the WL2305 (230×180×45 mm OD, 240 g empty weight, PP body).

Material and Foam: What Meteorological Box Is Made Of

All Meteorological Box cases use engineering-grade polypropylene (PP) or PP+glass-fiber composite (PP+GF) for the shell, with CNC-cut closed-cell PE foam inside (density 25 kg/m³). The foam density is calibrated to absorb 1.2m drops on concrete while keeping your equipment from shifting.

The shell is rated IP67 ingress protection and validated to MIL-STD-810H Method 516.8 (26 drops at 1.2m). Temperature range is -40 ~ +80 °C. The automatic pressure-equalization valve keeps the seal intact during air transport and at altitude. Latch is a double-throw design rated for 5,000 open/close cycles. All units are 100% inspected for wall thickness uniformity, latch engagement, and foam adhesion before shipping.

Meteorological Box Sample Layouts (2024-2026)

Here are 3 real Meteorological Box foam layouts from 2024-2026: (A) Sony A7 IV + 24-70mm + 70-200mm + 3 filters + 2 batteries — fits WL2808. (B) DJI Mavic 3 + RC + 4 batteries + charger — fits WL2005. (C) RED Komodo + 2 lenses + monitor + cables — fits WL5020. We share these at the 12h quote stage.

Meteorological Box Cost vs Value: 5-Year View

Cheap Meteorological Box: $3-8/unit, 6-month lifespan, 200-cycle latch, 15 kg/m³ foam. Our Meteorological Box: $5-15/unit, 10-year lifespan, 5,000-cycle latch, 25 kg/m³ foam. Over 5 years, our case is 4-5x cheaper per year of use. Total cost of ownership wins.

For alternatives: soft padded bags (¥50–200, $7–30) are cheaper but offer no real protection and last 6 months. Aluminum hard cases ($80–300) are heavier, prone to denting, and 2–4× the price. Carbon fiber cases ($300+) are overkill for 95% of B2B use cases. Our PP/PC engineering cases hit the sweet spot: 90% of the protection of aluminum at 30% of the weight and 50% of the cost, with 10-year typical service life.

Meteorological Box: 5-Step Order Process

Ordering Meteorological Box is 5 steps: inquiry (12h response), quote (with recommendation), PO + 30% deposit, production (30 days + QC photos), balance payment + shipment. Repeat orders are 15-20 days. Custom OEM/ODM adds 25-30 days for mold.
