1. Rollers of different widths are not interchangeable by the user.
2. The roller width should correspond with the width of the material to be measured.
Otherwise incorrect measuring results may occur and the instrument may be damaged.
SCHMIDT has the solution to any tension measuring problem! Please contact us to discuss your application requirements.
To assist you in selecting the right tension meter for your specific application, please furnish:

Other tension ranges and measuring head widths available on request.
Other units of measure available - g or kg.
* SCHMIDT calibration material textile ribbon or film, depending on tension range and roller width
** Outer distance between outside guide rollers
Important for your order: Please specify model and roller width!
Small dual-flanged outer guide rollers are standard. All 3 rollers can be equipped with one flange, if the material to be measured is wider than the rollers. Please request when you order.
Calibration to customized material:
If process material differs significantly from the SCHMIDT calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape, special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended. For this purpose a material sample of about 5 m should be supplied.
