QUESTemp 46
TSI Quest QUESTemp 46
The QUESTemp° 44/46/48N utilizes a waterless wet bulb sensor designed for working environments where daily instrument upkeep is difficult.
A high-quality humidity sensor and proprietary algorithm perform the calculation of the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) values, eliminating the hassle of daily wet bulb maintenance.
A high-quality humidity sensor and proprietary algorithm perform the calculation of the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) values, eliminating the hassle of daily wet bulb maintenance.
- Utilizes WBGT sensing technology; the standard for heat stress management
- Waterless wet bulb sensing technology eliminates daily maintenance
- Convenient stay time parameters per multiple standards help determine work-rest ratios
- IP 54 ingress rating helps protect unit from exposure to dirt, dust, oil and water
- Designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use in demanding environments
| Measurements | Globe, dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, % relative humidity, WGBTin, WGBTout, WGBT weighted average (if 3 sensor sets), and Heat Index / Humidex. | |
| Temperatures given in Celsius or Fahrenheit. | ||
| Index (QUESTemp 46 only) | ACGIH TLV, U.S. Navy PHEL Charts, Flag Conditions for U.S. Navy/Marine Corp. Ashore, and EPRI | |
| Data Logging | Records and prints all measurements at user selected interval of 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. 128K bytes of data memory. | |
| Languages | English, French, Spanish, Italian, German. | |
| Housing | Designed water resistant to a light rain or mist. If rain is frequent, best practice would be to remote the sensor bar and keep the instrument sheltered. | |
