12 tension ranges from 0.2 - 200 grams up to 0.6 - 60 Kg, Wire Diameters up to 3mm
The Checkline DTS Digital Tension Meter accurately measures the running line tensions of yarns, fibers, wires, cables, optic fibers and similar materials. An auto-rotating display and auto-zeroing allow for simple measurement of material running in any orientation.
Special version models available for tapes and films, narrow access and larger diameter applications.
