Investigation of discrepancies in measurements made with a minilab WBGT index meter
Abstract
Measurements of wet bulb, dry bulb, globe temperaures 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.
