The QuesTemp°32 is a general-purpose area heat stress monitor said to be ideal for measuring that high humidity, temperature, and radiant heat conditions that can cause heat stroke and other heat-induced illnesses. With its on-board humidity sensor, the device displays relative humidity and calculates the Heat Index or Humidex.

It also provides quick and accurate wet bulb globe temperature measurements. The QuesTemp°34 adds datalogging of all measurement information to the basic model. Additionally, the QuesTemp°36 further simplifies heat stress management efforts by providing users with real-time guidance on stay times and work/rest regimens based on accepted screening criteria for heat stress.
