The professional set for assessing workplaces subjected to heat, testo 400
The WBGT case for fast assessment of workplaces
Part no.
Recommended Set:
0563 4001testo 400, multi-functional meas. instr., incl. meas.
value store up to 500,000 readings, VAC-module
(determination of volume flow with error calc.), battery,
Li-cell and calibration protocol
0635 8888Wet Bulb Globe temperature probe to assess
workplaces subjected to heat, in accordance with ISO
7243 or DIN 33403, incl. WBGT case
0554 0570Attachable printer (securely attached) including 1 roll of
thermal paper and batteries, quickly prints readings on
location
We recommend the following for each of the 3 temperature probes:
ISO calibration certificate/temperature
for air/immersion probes, calibration points -8°C; 0°C;
+40°C
Three different temperatures have
to be measured for WBGT
calculation:
- Temperature of a naturally aired,
humidified thermometer (Tw),
natural wet bulb temperature
- Globe temperature (Tg)
- Air temperature (Ta).
Calculation occurs inside and
outside the building without
exposure to sun:
WBGT = 0.7 Tw + 0.3 Tg
Outside buildings with exposure to
sun:
WBGTS = 0.7 Tw + 0.2 Tg + 0.1
Ta
The testo 400 measuring
instrument calculates indices and
shows them in its display.
The measurement task involves
assessing workplaces, particularly
those subjected to heat radiation:
The WBGT probe is used to
determine the WBGT (Wet Bulb
Globe Temperature) climate index in
accordance with DIN 33403 and
ISO 7243.
The WBGT index is used to
determine the maximum allowable
exposure time at workplaces
subjected to heat.
Possible applications are e.g.:
- Steel industry
- Foundries
- Glass industry
- Furnaces
- Ceramics industry.
Heat radiation causes an increase
in temperature based on:
- the thermal influence of the
surroundings
- Work intensity
- Thermal transfer of clothing
- Duration of exposure.
If this burden is too high, there is a
risk of a circulatory collapse, heat
cramps or heat stroke.
