Title

Intercomparison Of Heat Stress Indices And Heat Strain Indices

Abstract

This study compares the indices in the stress index family and the indices in the strain index family for their operating characteristics when the thermal components are varied. The thermal indices included are Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), Wet Globe Temperature (WGT), New Effective Temperature (ET*), Heat Strain Index (HSI), Duration Limit Exposure (ISO-DLE), and Delta Threshold Limit Value (DTLV). This study resulted in several significant findings in the selection and the use of thermal indices for various environmental conditions.
