PT-100-L
Tension Meter

3 in 1
Tension: 0.5 – 100.0 cN
Speed: 1999 m/min
Length: 1999 m
For fibers up to 100 tex or 1000 denier

Pocket tension meter for low tension measurements of fibres, yarns etc. used for circular knitting machine

Hand-held instrument , battery operated with LCD display

Handy, 2 roller tension meter with 3 operating modes (tension, speed and length)

Special Features

  • »Multifunctional instrument:«
    – Tension Meter
    – Yarn Speed Meter
    – Yarn Length Meter to determine the yarn consumption of a single feeder for one or more machine cycles (max. 10 revolutions) of a circular knitting machine
  • Tension meter PT-100-L with easy Slide-In material threading by cone shaped, ball-bearing mounted guide rollers and turning the instrument
  • Length Measurement – 2 operating modes:
    -“Manual” (without external sensor):
    The instrument measures as long as the operator is pressing the button
    -“Auto” (with “Reed” magnet Sensor):
    Sensor and magnet are supplying a start/stop signal for a user-defined number of machine revolutions (1 – 10)
  • Automatic »zero setting« to zero the instrument in any measuring position
  • Adjustable electronic damping to provide steady tension readings
  • When the series of measurement ends, the average value can be displayed
  • Tension meter PT-100-L for right and left hand use
  • User-set measuring units of cN or grams
  • Measuring head width 24 mm (outer distance of guide rollers)
  • Powered by rechargeable lithium polymer battery (40 h battery life with 3.5 h charge time) with a universal voltage AC-charger

Standard Features

  • Tension meter with small, compact aluminium housing
  • Easy one hand operation
  • Tension meter with easy to read LCD display
  • Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy
  • CE proofed, interference resistance about static charge
  • Certificate of compliance with the order 2.1 according DIN EN 10204 is included
  • Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according DIN EN 10204 with calibration report (tension only)

to insert the measuring material the instrument must be wrapped by 180 degrees
