Product Details
Originally designed to measure the tension on telephone wires, the AP Dynamometer has proven to have limitless versatility as a tension and weight measuring instrument. It is used for such diverse jobs as suspended weighing, mounting cables for bridges, adjusting tension on guy wires, and field testing chain, rope, as well as wire. The kit includes a broad range of capacities and resolutions to fit your needs, a large safety factor for overload protection and long life, and requires no batteries. The device features a choice of dial sizes for optimal portability or visibility, a pressure bar with a powder coat finish, and a zero control located on the read that cancels preset loads up to 20% of capacity. An anti-parallax dial and pointer provide accurate readings from any perspective, while the maximum hand retains the peak load point and is easily reset. The dynamometer is equipped with a high-strength composite plastic case, and the offset load beam eases tension measurement. The pressure bar is protected with durable powder coat paint, and shackles and pins are electroless nickel plated. The product comes with a 2-year limited warranty.
