A kata thermometer measures the cooling power of the environment; it is used to estimate the personal comfort of workers (see also "heat stress monitor" and "personal temperature monitor"). A spirit-in-glass thermometer is usually used: its bulb is heated to above body temperature, removed from the heat source and allowed to cool. The time taken for the thermometer reading to drop from above to below normal body temperature (e.g., from 38 °C to 35 °C) is used to calculate the cooling power of the atmosphere, using a calibration factor F engraved on the thermometer by the manufacturer: cooling power = F/(time of cooling).
