Hi, i am interested in buying kestrel heat stress equipment. But i am not sure which model will be best useful for my research work. I want to use it for Heat stress measurements in Foundry industry (like workers exposed near to the furnace and other near by environment). So, can you please suggest me which model will be best suited to my work.

Hi, The Kestrel 5400 is designed for both outdoors and indoors use. The Kestrel 5400 displays Wet Bulb Globe Temperarue ("WBGT") as well as thermal work limit (“TWL”), another recognized composite heat stress prediction tool. For both WBGT and TWL, the Kestrel 5400 provides on-screen and visual alarms when conditions enter the caution and danger zones, providing clear and immediate guidance that heat illness prevention steps must be taken. Clothing levels can also be customized, making the Kestrel 5400 particularly useful in activities requiring heavy protective gear which worsens heat stress. The Kestrel 5400 also logs oughly 10,000 data points which can be downloaded with either the <a title="Kestrel USB Data Transfer Cable" href="https://www.extrememeters.com/products/usb-data-transfer-cable-for-kestrel-5000-series-meters-ir">Kestrel USB Data Transfer Cable</a> or wirelessly <a title="(Kestrel 5400 PRO with Compass and Bluetooth LiNK)" href="https://www.extrememeters.com/products/kestrel-5400-heat-stress-tracker?variant=8247492613">(Kestrel 5400 PRO with Compass and Bluetooth LiNK only)</a> using a smartphone and the free Kestrel LiNK app. I would recommend the 5400 as the other heat stress meters do not report WBGT and TWL.
