Tension meter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with Tensiometer, Tensometer, or Extensometer.

A tension meter is a device used to measure tension in wires, cables, textiles, belts and more. Meters commonly use a 3 roller system where the material travels through the rollers causing deflection in the center roller that is connected to a analog indicator or load cell on digital models. Single roll tension sensors and sonic tension meters are other types of tensionmeters.
