The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a composite temperature used to estimate the effect of temperature, humidity, and solar radiation on humans. This instrument determines true heat stress temperature by accounting for air currents, relative humidity and solar load in addition to air temperature and relative humidity making this instrument ideal for  industrial hygienists ,athletic trainers, the military and the sports medicine environment.

Features:

• Measures:
  • Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) -a commonly used heat stress indicator that considers the effects of temperature, humidity and radiant energy.
  • Black Globe Temperature (TG) - measured by the black globe thermometer, which monitors the effects of direct solar radiation on an exposed surface
  • Ambient Air Temperature (TA)
  • Relative Humidty (%RH)
  • IN/OUT: Represents the measuring environment that is with or without direct sun exposure and display corresponding
• Direct measurement of radiation utilizing a brass black ball
• Adjustable audible alarm for thermal condition monitoring
• Audible beeper for heat stress monitoring
• Low battery indicator
• Can be switched between °F/°C
• Sensor protecting cover
• Tripod mountable
• RS-232 output (9600 BPS, 8 data bits, no parity)
• Auto power off (can be disabled)
• Easy calibration for humidity
• Heat stress index (WBGT), temperature. humidity in one handy meter
