Wet Bulb Globe Heat Stress Meter

Sper Scientific 800036 WBGT Heat Stress Meter

Monitor environmental conditions effortlessly with the Sper Scientific 800036, a lightweight and compact Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) Heat Stress Meter designed for portability and precision. This device is essential for ensuring safety in various settings by accurately assessing the risk of heat-related illnesses.

Key Features & Measurements: The meter provides a comprehensive analysis of heat stress by measuring four critical parameters:

• WBGT Temperature: The primary index for measuring heat stress, combining the effects of temperature, humidity, wind, and radiation.
• Air Temperature (TA): Measures the ambient air temperature.
• Globe Temperature (TG): Accounts for the effect of direct solar radiation on an exposed surface.
• Relative Humidity (RH): Measures the amount of moisture in the air.

Compliance and Safety: OSHA and other regulatory bodies have established recommended occupational heat stress limits for various levels of physical activity. The WBGT index is the most accurate method for determining heat stress as it considers the cumulative impact of air temperature, air movement, relative humidity, and radiant heat. This makes the Sper Scientific 800036 an indispensable tool for preventing heat exhaustion and heatstroke in public health applications, athletics, military training, and industrial environments.

Advanced Functionality:

• Fast and Accurate: Delivers highly accurate readings with a rapid response time of just 15 seconds.
• Indoor/Outdoor Settings: Features distinct settings to ensure precise calculations whether monitoring conditions inside a factory or out on a sports field.
• Audible Alarm: Includes a user-adjustable audible alarm that sounds when the WBGT threshold is exceeded, providing immediate alerts to dangerous conditions.
• Data Logging Capability: One of the meter's key advantages is its ability to stream data directly to a computer for real-time logging and analysis. This requires the USB Cable #840054 and Data Acquisition Software #840052 (sold separately).
• Mounting Options: Comes with a standard tripod screw on the back for easy, hands-free monitoring over extended periods.
