Understand heat stress with live data: Accurate monitoring within an integrated weather station
Heat stress risks are real to health, safety and productivity.
Approximately half of the global population is suffering adverse consequences. From workers on construction sites to farmers to athletes to the military in training, rising global temperatures are creating new dangers. And occupational heat action plans require accurate understanding and measurement of the environment.
With the MaxiMet® GMX552, we step in with the quality, precision and performance we’re known for. MaxiMet® GMX552 incorporates heat stress measurement into a highly reliable integrated weather station with on-board calculation of WBGT (wet bulb globe temperature), the index for heat stress.
WBGT heat stress sensor
On-board calculation of WBGT (wet bulb globe temperature). Derived or true measurement options.
Meets ISO 7243:2017
Outputs WBGT in accordance with ISO 7243:2017 – the international standard for heat stress measurement.
Wet bulb temperature
Optional wet bulb sensor gives direct wet bulb temperature measurement for increased WBGT accuracy.
