The Casella Microtherm is a Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer that measures WBGT Index for workers who are exposed to hot working environments. The instrument combines results from 3 different temperature sensors into a single calculated value that can be compared to a reference value based on the specific work regime.

The Microtherm features a large LCD screen with real time display of changing levels. The instrument datalogs, has audible and visual alarms when alarm levels are exceded, RH% calculation, and dewpoint calculation. It is compatible with Windows PC software to download and setup results from memory. Automatic calculation of work and rest regimes with included PC software.

For extended surveys, it includes a tripod mount, standard accessories in a customized case and calibration certificate. Meets the requirements of ISO 7243.
