Casella Microtherm Heat Stress WBGT
Casella Microtherm Heat Stress WBGT is the world’s first heat stress meter that offers real time graphical display of data. With its audible and visual alarms, the unit can immediately notify those nearby of pending hazards. The heat stress WBGT has a unique and efficient design that is rugged, compact, and portable. When heat stress dangers are abound, consider Casella and consider the best in heat stress monitoring.
The Dangers of Heat Stress
When a person’s core body temperature rises to a dangerous or hazardous level, the person is under the duress of heat stress. Certain working conditions place workers at risk of this danger by exposing them to hot working environments for prolonged periods of time. Symptoms include heat cramps, nausea, palpitations, stroke, and even death. Using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Index (WBGT), workplace managers can provide an overall estimation of heat stress levels on the body. The dangers are very real, and avoidable with the proper tools. The Casella Microtherm Heat Stress WBGT provides a mechanism to monitor potential heat stress.
Key Features of the Heat Stress WBGT
The Microtherm Heat Stress WBGT has several key features that improve its performance in the field. Its large graphic LCD display is very easy to read and provides real time readings. It has a standard feature of full data-logging capabilities (PC software is included), and provides a warning or alarm for low water level and WBGT levels. It has an incredibly efficient ergonomic design and a very long battery life. The unit meets the requirements of ISO 7243. It is also suitable for a variety of applications including
- Power stations
- Foundries
- Steel works
- Bakeries
- Glass manufacturing
- Routine monitoring
- Medical surveillance testing
