Overview

WBGT heat stress meter concept (wet bulb global temperature) was developed as a monitoring basis in US military training camps, and has become widespread for use in workplaces and sports venues. It is suggested in ISO 7243 in establishing permissable heat exposure limits in helath, sports or othe physical activities. It can be used to establish a non subjective criteria for imposing limits on physical activity in extreme conditions, and to measure work places to determine the work patterns that may be safe where the conditions are unavoidable. The meter measures the globe temperature with Pt100 high accuracy sensor in a black sphere, and combines this with ambient temperature and relative humidity to calculate the index  It can log the values at intervals from 1 to 3600 seconds and saves then to SD card. This can be transferred to a PC for analysis using standard spread sheet software.

Description: 


The Lutron WBGT-2010SD heat stress meter measures indoor and outdoor wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) values, black globe temperature, humidity, air temperature, wet bulb temperature and dew point and is designed for objective assessment of working conditions in extreme weather.

Objective criteria for determining appropriate levels of outdoor physical activity can be valuable for manual labour in industrial situations, as they provide clear parameters for appropriate action. The US military developed the WBGT basis for their training camps, and it has since become widespread for workplaces and sports activities. The WBGT Index is useful for providing guidelines for work breaks and restrictions on intense activity.

Temperature and dew point values can be read on the device’s display and logged to SD card memory. An audible alarm attracts attention if conditions change.

Data can be logged automatically in real time at intervals from 1 to 3600 s with unlimited records or manually, by button press, to 99 readings. This means any decisions made on activity can be backed up by factual evidence of environmental conditions at a given time. The SD card can be transferred to a PC and data analysed and saved using a standard spreadsheet program.

Features:

* WBGT (wet-bulb globe temperature) was developed as a monitoring basis at US military training
 camps and became widespread for the use in workplaces and sports situation It is suggested in 
 the international standard ISO 7243, OSHA (US Occupation Safety), Japan Society for Occupational
 Health and the SMA (Sports Medicine Australia) to establish the permissible heat exposure limits in
 health, sports or other physical activities.
* Measurement : WBGT value (Indoor/Outdoor Wet bulb globe temperature), Black globe
 temperature, Humidity, Air temperature, Wet bulb temperature, Dew point Temp..
* Measurement function :
 1. Wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT):
   Indoor : 0 oC to 59 oC.
   Outdoor : 0 oC to 56 oC.
 2. Black globe Temp (TG) : 0 to 80 oC.
 3. Air temperature (TA) : 0 to 50 oC.
 4. Wet bulb temperature (WB) : -21.6 oC to 50.0 oC.
 5. Humidity : 5 % to 95 % R.H..
 6. Dew point Temp. : -25.3 oC to 48.9 oC.
* Unit : oC,oF, Resolution : 0.1 degree.
* Adjustable WBGT alarm setting with buzzer sound output.
* Control and monitor of physical activity in hot environment to limit the danger of heatrelated
 injuries.
* Globe temperature measurement uses the Pt sensor, high accuracy.
* Fast humidity measuring response time.
* Direct measurement of the radiation effect with a brass black ball in 75 mm dia.
* Real time SD memory card recorder, it is built-in Clock and Calendar.
* Real time data recorder , sampling time set from 1 second to 3600 seconds.
* Manual data record is available, can set the different position (location) No. (1 to 99).
* Innovation and easy operation, computer is not need to setup extra software. After record the 
 data, just take away the SD card from the meter and plug into the computer, the measured values 
 with the time information(year/month/date/ hour/minute/second) can be downloaded to the Excel
 directly, then user can make the further data or graphic analysis by themselves.
* SD card capacity : 1 GB to 16 GB.
* Data hold, record max. and min. reading.
* Power by UM3/AA (1.5 V) x 6 batteries or DC 9V adapter.
* RS232/USB PC computer interface.
* Complete set with the carrying case, SD card is optional.
