Thermal
stress meters
Thermal stress
meters are mainly used to value the workplace.
Thermal stress meters can detect and classify
temperature in relation to the amount of moisture
content.
What
is thermal stress? and why is thermal stress
measured? People who work in installations or with
machines which produce a lower energy level or a
high emission of temperature can occasionally
suffer thermal stress (by the influence of
body temperature). This phenomenon can also cause
physiological symptoms: spasms, feeling unwell
and shocks which can produce in some cases the
death. So, thermal stress meters are necessary to
determine thermal stress. Thermal stress meters
detect and classify temperature in relation to the
amount of moisture content. The global standard
description for thermal stress is the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe
Temperature Index). This index is consists of three
different parameters: evaporating temperature (tnw),
global temperature (tg) and air temperature (ta). At
this page you will find diverse thermal stress
meters models, as the ones which offer an index with
the temperature correction of humidity / moisture
content (received). If If you don't find the thermal
stress meters you are looking for, please contact us
and we will help you find the best solution to suit
your needs by calling our offices:+44 ( 0 ) 191 377

Thermal stress can be
produced in those workplaces exposed to high
temperatures (firemen, blat-furnace workers, etc..)
where it exists a mortal risk for the workers. When
thermal stress meters are used to determine thermal
stress, the risk can be detected and working conditions
can be improved to avoid the danger. Thermal stress is
not only suffered by human beings but also by animals
living in animal housing (big fattening houses) as well
as it is also suffered in the plant kingdom. Sometime,
small changes within environmental conditions can cause
important effects. |
