Tension meter DN1
Special Features
top
- The analog display shows changing and fluctuating tensions fast and enables an optimal process adjustment
- The built-in material thickness compensator compensates different material diameters for a particular range (only DN1-1000 and higher ranges).
 | Material thickness compensator: For better accuracy the material to be measured or a similar material with the same diameter should be inserted. |
- Large, easy to read scale (54 mm Ø)
- Linearized scale provides a better reading
- Tension meter with shock-resistant movement
- Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
Standard Features
- Everything in operator’s view:
- the guide rollers
- the measured material
- the readings - Ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved guide rollers
- Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy
- Special calibration is available
- 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

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.
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 meters
- calibrated to custom supplied material
- fine tuned to a specific tension range
- other units of measure such as g or kg
