INTRODUCTION
HEAT STRESS REFERENCES
The Sper Scientific WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe
Temperature) Heat Stress Meter (Model 800036) is
light-weight, portable, and provides the most
accurate determination of the heat stress index
based on the cumulative effect of air temperature,
air movement, relative humidity, and radiant heat.
The WBGT Heat Stress Meter provides highly
accurate readings with a typical response time of
only 15 seconds. The WBGT Heat Stress Meter
provides settings for both indoor and outdoor
activities, and includes an audible alarm that is
adjustable to your WBGT threshold.
You can use the WBGT Heat Stress Meter almost
anywhere to determine appropriate exposure levels
to high temperatures and avoid heat exhaustion
during athletic events, military exercises, and
industrial activities.
