Special mechanical tension meter for applications where access space is limited or where filaments lie close together
This hand-held instrument is used for control measurements of pretensioned non running ropes and/or polyamide guitar strings.
Tension meter with hooks instead of guide rollers.
Finger SupportWe recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges
Tension meter DXH does not include a material thickness compensator
| Model | Measuring Range | Measuring Head Width | SCHMIDT Calibration Material* |
| DXH-5000 | 400 – 5000 cN | 116 mm | PA: 0.8 mm Ø |
| DXH-10K | 2.5 – 10 daN | 116 mm | PA: 1.0 mm Ø |
| DXH-20K-L | 5 – 20 daN | 116 mm | PA: 1.5 mm Ø |
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 DXH can be reconverted for special applications.

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 DXH
Standard for tension meter DXH-20K-L.
Facilitates acquisition of the running material when measuring high tensions. Reduces force necessary to extend outer rollers. Recommended for tension meter DXH-10K.
Retains the highest measured value (PEAK). Available for mechanical tension meters.
Inspection Certificate 3.1 according DIN EN 10204
Tension meter DXH with carrying case, operating instruction in German or English (as requested), Certificate of compliance with the order 2.1 according EN 10204 free of charge
