Both models measure/calculate the dry bulb, wet bulb and globe temperatures along with WBGT indoors, WBGT outdoors, relative humidity and heat index/humidex. A real time clock provides accurate reporting with time stamping. ...

SIMPLE MEASUREMENT OF THE WBGT INDEX. The physiological effects of heat stress have been researched extensively by the South African mining industry where deep mining necessitates heavy physical work being undertaken in hot and humid ...

Relative Feed Value ( RFV) is an index that combines potential intake and digestibility into a rapid method to determine feed value. Current hay sample indicates an 86 RFV this is in the prime 4 range. ... In visual inspection the stage of maturity, leaf capture and retention, rain damage, hay color, heat stress damage, mold, texture and weeds are all indicators of quality. As an example, although hay color is a strong clue to environmental conditions during harvest, ...

While a 90 F outdoor temp is relatively safe at 10 percent humidity, the heat stress of 90 F at 50 percent humidity is the equivalent of 96 F. When the heat stress index rises above 90 F, you may want to consider postponing your ...
