(not CE conformed)

  • Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is commonly used as a guidance for environmental heat stress to prevent heat stroke during physical exercise or while at work.
  • WBGT as a measurement method to determine heat stress given to human body at work in thermally harsh environment is specified in ISO 7243 under the title; Hot Process & Environments – Estimation of the heat stress on working man, based on the WBGT-index (wet bulb globe temperature).
  • Below chart of WBGT-index shows the criterion of heat stress warning specified by Japan Athletic Society in order to prevent heat stroke:
    WBGT[°C] Types of warning and required rest
    Below 21 Safe (needs occasional supply of water)
    21 – 25 Note (needs immediate supply of water)
    25 – 28 Caution (needs to take rest)
    28 – 31 Warning (Stop active physical exercise)
    Above 31 Dangerous (Cancel physical exercise)
  • Maximum 1,000 sets of data can be stored, and continuous measurement by automatic sampling is possible.
  • Measuring result data can be printed out by the optional printer.
