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.
Tension Meter DN1 can be reconverted for special applications.

Specifications subject to change without notice!
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 DN1

For tension ranges from 20 – 120 cN up to max. 400 – 5000 cN
This adjustable mechanical air dashpot is recommended for applications in which great fluctuations of the measured tension occur, as spooling and winding machines. This assures steady tension readings on scale.
Standard for tension meter DN1-20K-L and higher ranges.
Facilitates acquisition of the running material when measuring high tensions. Reduces force necessary to extend outer rollers: Recommended for tension meter DN1-10K.
