Acquisition of Measuring Equipment

I. INTRODUCTION TO HEAT INDEX WBGT METER

WBGT (wet-bulb globe temperature) was developed as a monitoring basis at US military training camps and became widespread for the use in workplaces and sport situation it is suggested in the international standard ISO 7243, OSHA (US occupation safety), Japan society for occupational Health and the SMA (Sports medicine Australia) in establishing the permissible he at exposure limits in health, sport or other physical activities.

  • Measurement: WBGT value (Indoor/Outdoor Wet bulb globe temperature) Black globe temperature, Humidity, Air temperature, Wet bulb temperature, Dew point temperature…
  • Adjustable WBGT alarm setting, if the WBGT value over the alarm threshold, the buzzer will sound along with the flashing display.
  • Using to control and monitor of physical activity in hot environment to limit the danger of heat related injuries.
  • Fast humidity measuring response time.
  • Direct measurement of the radiation effect with a brass black ball in 75 mm dia.
  • Sensor protecting mechanism.
  • Real time SD memory card Datalogger, it’s built-in clock and calendar, real time data recorder, sampling time set from 1 second to 3600 seconds.
  • Manual datalogger is available (set the sampling time to 0), during executing the manual datalogger function, it can set the different position (location) No. (position 1 to position 99).

Innovation and easy operation, computer is not needed to set up extra software, after executing data-logger, just take away the SD card from the meter and plug in the SD card into the computer, it can download all the measured values with the time information (year/month/date/hour/minute, second) to the excel directly, then user can make the further data or graphic analysis by themselves.

II. INTRODUCTION TO CAT S62 PRO SMARTPHONE

The Cat S62 Pro features several exclusive enhancements providing even more thermal detail to help locate and diagnose the damp, the draught, the leak, the hotspot, the electrical short, the blockage or the elevated temperature.It’s powered by the highest resolution FLIR lepton available today, the FLIR Lepton 3.5 professional-grade sensor, which brings a huge 4x increase in the number of thermal pixels. Combined with FLIR’s VividIR technology, the Cat S62 Pro delivers enhanced image quality, sharper image and higher thermal resolution.

Thermal imagery can be blended with the visual image from the S62 Pro’s 12MP dual pixel Sony camera, or used with FLIR’s variable intensity MSX (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) technology that overlays linear detail from the scene onto the thermal image,providing greater context to help understand thermal images.
Below are some examples of Cat S62 thermal images:

This shows the distribution of the temperature, by considering different points (some in the shade and other in the sun), we can see the difference of the temperature from the shade environment to the sunny one which is around 12°C.

Thermal Imaging is a method of using infrared radiation and thermal energy to gather information about objects, in order to formulate images of them, even in low visibility environments. It’s a type of technology that has built up a broad range of uses over the years. It is based upon the science of infrared energy (otherwise known as “heat”), which is emitted from all objects. This energy from an object is also referred to as the “heat signature”, and the quantity of radiation emitted tends to be proportional to the overall heat of the object.
