* SCHMIDT calibration material textile ribbon or film, depending on tension range and roller width
** Outer distance between outside guide rollers

When selecting the instrument for your specific application, please keep in mind that:
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:
– Kind and dimensions of the material to be measured
– Expected tension range
– Material sample of about 5 m

Tension Meter DTXB can be reconverted for special applications.
