Investigation of Discrepancies in Measurements Made with a 'Minilab' WBGT Index Meter.

Abstract

Measurements of wet bulb, dry bulb, globe temperatures and WBGT Index made with a particular 'MINILAB' were found to be mutually inconsistent. An investigation into the source of the discrepancies showed that they were largely methodological and attributable to the instrument. Individual measurements of wet, dry and globe temperatures were found to be reliable.
