Heat stroke meter gives instant reading
August 1st 2006

Available from Integrated Scientific, the WBGT- 103/113 heat stroke meter combines the measurement of ambient temperature, relative humidity, wet bulb globe temperature and the WBGT index in a real time monitoring situation.

The WBGT index was developed by the United States Marine Core and is an arbitrary scale that can give an indication of how much exposure a person can have in hot, humid environments without taking a break or drinking water. It can be used both indoors and out.

The device gives instant readouts and can be used for risk assessments.
