Each wire rope is calibrated and is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Certificate included with curve readings. Passes only with three consecutive confirming runs, with all points in specification.
Quick-Check Tension Meter
Place it on a cable.
Measure its tension.
Removed in under five seconds.
The Quick-Check tension meter can be employed in many industries requiring proper and provable tensioning. Typical applications include:
- Cell towers
- Stack guy wires
- Pre-tensioned cable barriers
- Bridges
- Elevators
- Winch rope
- Overhead electric transit wires
- Fall arrest systems
- Aircraft arresting cables
- Utilities
View the cable library to learn more about the over 500 wires, cables and ropes available for calibration on all Quick Check tension meters.
Overview
The operator can quickly select from 20 pre-calibrated wire sizes and types stored in Quick-Check’s memory. The Quick-Check tensioning mode graphically displays the current and target tension control limits for extremely quick setting of line tension. Even the infrequent battery changes are quick.
