REED R6200 WBGT Heat Stress Meter
$169.00
This heat stress meter measures temperature, humidity, and direct or radiant sunlight with Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT). With this information the R6200 determines the “What it feels like” temperature (how hot it REALLY feels outside when humidity is combined with temperature, air movement and radiant heat). The R6200 is designed to meet or beat OSHA requirements and also features a user-adjustable WBGT audible alarm and the ability to measure heat index, dew point and barometric pressure.
Please call or contact support for R6200 Calibration Certificate Quote. We will meet or beat any manufacturer’s calibration price.
Details
Features:
- Measures ambient temperature, humidity, wet bulb temperature, black globe temperature, WBGT (wet bulb global temperature), heat stress index, dew point and pressure

- In/Out function displays the WBGT value with or without direct sun exposure
- Multi-line backlit LCD display simultaneously displays 4 measurements
- Maximum, Minimum, Average and Data Hold functions
- Internal memory stores up to 99 measurements
- User selectable unit of measure (°F or °C)
- User adjustable WBGT threshold alarm (audible)
- Tripod mount for long-term monitoring
- Low battery indicator and auto shut off
What is WBGT or Wet Bulb Globe Temperature?
- WBGT index is a term used in industry, sports and other areas to indicate the heat stress level for humans and animals. It calculates the heat stress of radiant heat, which takes into account temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover. This type of meter combines these factors into a single number so you can quickly take into account the conditions you are in.
What is Black Globe Temperature (GT)?
- Skin can burn when it comes in contact with exposed machinery, tools and containers left in hot direct sunlight. Black Globe Temperature represents the integrated effects of radiation and wind on these objects.
