Modeling the wet bulb globe temperature using standard meteorological measurements.
The U.S. Army has a need for continuous, accurate estimates of the wet bulb globe temperature to protect soldiers and civilian workers from heat-related injuries, including those involved in the storage and destruction of aging chemical munitions at depots across the United States. At these depots, workers must don protective clothing that increases their risk of heat-related injury. Because of...
متن کاملHeat stress assessment according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index among workers of a steel mill in 2014
Background: Heat stress in the steel industry is considered as a serious threat to the health and safety of workers. A wide spectrum of complications and diseases from mild disorders such as burning sensation to fatal conditions such as thermal shock may occur due to uncontrolled thermal stress. In this study, heat stress assessment was performed according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBG...
متن کاملA field assessment of a prototype meter for measuring the wet-bulb globe-thermometer index.
A prototype electronic instrument for the direct measurement of the wet-bulb globe-thermometer index is described. An assessment is made of its accuracy, as compared with W.B.G.T. indices calculated from conventional thermometric data, and a comparison is made between W.B.G.T. values read from the meter and effective or corrected effective temperatures derived from separate thermometric and air...
متن کاملHygrometry of gas delivered with different high flow oxygen humidifiers and impact on comfort of the level of hygrometry
Methods We have tested on a bench the hygrometric performance of different oxygen high flow therapy systems (OptiFlow/ Airvo Fisher&Paykel, Hydrate OMNI Hydrate inc., Precision flow Vapoterm,). We have used psychrometric method to measure hygrometry. For each condition, we made 3 hygrometric measurements at different moments of the day. The measurements were taken proximal to the simulated pati...
متن کاملTrend Analysis and Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Wet Bulb Globe Temperature as a Heat Stress Index in Iran during the Summer Season over a 30-Year Period
Introduction: Global warming is one of the most important environmental problems that have raised researchers’ attention. The present study aimed to analyze heat stress trends using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index in the country of Iran during the summer over a 30-year period. Materials and Methods: Daily summertime statistical data regarding mean temperature and mean relative humi...
