About Tension Meters
Tension meters are instruments that measure tension in cable, fiber, belts and webs, or sheets. Cable or fiber meters are designed to measure tension of circular cross-section elements. Strap or belt meters are designed for elements whose thickness is less than their width. Web or sheet tensiometers are used for very wide, relatively thin sheets and webs. Contact styles engage the element to be measured over rollers, and noncontact types calculate tension based on the frequency of an excited response. They are used to monitor and control tension in power transmission belts, cables, and fibers in a variety of manufacturing processes in industries such as paper and textile manufacturing.
Important performance specifications to consider when specifying tension meters include tension range and accuracy. The tension range is the minimum and maximum values of tension to be measured in pounds. The accuracy is the required accuracy of tension readings, specified as a percent of full scale. Applications for tension meters are commonly hand held or portable and fixtured in place or permanent for long running use. Some tension meters can also measure dimensional parameters of diameter or width.
