HEAT STRESS MONITOR ( WBGT)

Heat Stress Meter PCE-WB 20SD
Heat Stress Meter with Datalogger function / data storage on SD memory card / 
measurement of WBGT (indoors and outside), Black Globe Temperature, Humidity, air Temperature, Dew Point Temperature, Wet Bulb Temperature

- Large LCD display

- Real time indication

- Integrated data logger            - Acoustic alarm

- RH in % and dew point calculation

- SD memory card storage

The Heat Stress meter PCE-WB 20 SD is designed to capture WBGT-values, the Black-Globe Temperature, humidity, air temperature, wet-bulb temperature, and the dew point temperature   indoors as well as outside. The heat stress meter PCE-WB 20 SD has been developed for an objective rating of working places under extreme weather conditions. Objective criteria for the determination of an adequate level for physical activity outdoors can be valuable in industrial environments, since clear standards assure relevant actions. The US military developed the WBGT as a basic for their training camps, but since then the WBGT principle has been extended to work places and sports activity locations.

The WBGT index is useful to develop guidelines for work breaks and limitations or preventions of intense activity. At the heat stress meter there can be read temperature and dew point values that can be stored onto a memory SD card. In case the conditions change, an acoustic alarm goes off. By means of the heat stress meter

PCE-WB 20 SD there can be documented up to 99 values in real time automatically in an interval of 1 ... 3600 seconds or  manually by pressing a button.

This allows measuring values and a distinct time and storing them as evidence of the environmental conditions. By means of the SD memory card the stored data can be transferred to a computer and indicated in a spreadsheet
