QUESTemp Brochure

QUESTemp° Series Monitors are designed to provide you with maximum value. In all QUESTemp° Thermal Environment Monitors a dry bulb sensor measures ambient temperature; a wet bulb sensor takes into account evaporative cooling, giving an indication of the effects of humidity on an individual; and a globe sensor provides an indication of the radiant heat exposure on an individual due to either direct light or hot objects in an environment. QUESTemp° Thermal Environment Monitors convert these measurements to a simplified, singlenumber Indoor and Outdoor WBGT Index. This index can then be used in conjunction with guidelines developed by ACGIH, U.S. Navy, EPRI, ISO and others. Each of these guidelines includes considerations for real-life variables such as activity levels or clothing types worn. Using QUESTemp° Thermal Environment Monitors in conjunction with any one of these guidelines enables you to determine appropriate work/rest regimens or stay times for workers in situations where heat stress is a life safety and liability risk.
