DXK
Tension Meter

3 Tension ranges available
from 20 – 300 cN up to 200 – 2000 cN

Mechanical tension meter for measuring warp threads on stagnant weaving machines

Hand-held instrument for determinating the tension of a single warp thread or several threads

Tension meter with large reference frame for easy placing on the yarn

Special Features

  • Tension meter DXK with analog display
  • Large reference frame (15 x 17 cm) will be placed on a sheet of warp yarns. Thereby save and accurate measurements are possible
  • Width of the sensing pin 10 mm
  • Determinating the statical tensions of warp threads, not dynamic
  • Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the material

Standard Features

  • Everything in operator’s view:
    – the guide rollers
    – the measured material
    – the readings
  • Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy
  • 41 mm Ø scale
  • Tension meter with rugged aluminium housing
  • Certificate of Compliance with the order 2.1 according EN 10204 is included
  • Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according EN 10204 with calibration report

Finger Support

Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the material

 

Note

Tension meter DXK does not include a material thickness compensatorl

Operation:

We recommend always measuring the same number of ends, such as 5 or 10 ends (repeat of pattern) or only a single end at a time. During measurement make sure that the ends are not pulled or pressed out of their alignment.

SCALES

SCHMIDT scales are manufactured according to the most stringent quality requirements. Printed scales are not used. Instead, each scale is individually marked for the instrument involved. This ensures highest quality. Our special procedure makes it possible to provide tension meter DXK

  • calibrated to custom supplied material
  • fine tuned to a specific tension range
  • other units of measure such as g

ATTACHMENT

Code M – Memory Pointer

Retains the highest measured value (PEAK). Available for mechanical tension meters.
