87784 AZ Wearable WBGT App, Heat Index Meter:
The 87784 AZ Wearable WBGT HI Checker can measure air temperature, balloon temperature, heat index temperature, and humidity to give a heat stress index for use in monitoring physical activity in a hot environment to limit the danger of heat-related injuries.
The Wet Bulb Balloon Temperature (WBGT) was developed as a monitoring base at U.S. military training grounds. And it became widespread for use in workplaces and sports situations. The WBGT is a measure of heat stress in direct sunlight.
The heat index was developed by the U.S. National Weather Service. To help people avoid heat illness. Prolonged exposure and/or physical activity with a high heat index is likely to lead to heat stroke, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and even death. However, keep in mind that heat index is not an exact science. The values reached are approximations. Ultimately, the final decision of whether or not to exercise or work belongs to the individual, the fitness trainer, or the employer…
It is suggested in an international standard ISO 7243 and many governments such as OSHA (US Occupational Safety and Health Administration), SMA (Australian Sports Medicine), and the Japan Society for Occupational Health to set permissible limits of heat exposure in occupational health, sports, or other physical activities. The applications of heat index can be in construction, iron and steel foundries, brick firing plants, glass facilities, boiler rooms, mining sites, military training, marathons, beach activities, etc.
The 87784 AZ WBGT heat index meter has a small black ball, which can be easily transported. And the little black ball has a specific angle, so you won’t have to worry about human temperature affecting the accuracy of the meter. The measurement of the 87784 AZ WBGT HI Checker could be a good element to monitor outdoor activities and prevent people from suffering from heat stroke.
AZ 87784 WBGT + Heat Index Checker was designed and manufactured by AZ Instrument, a manufacturer with a lot of experience in environmental measurement.
