What is a Tensiometer?

A tension meter is a device that measures the tension of belts, fibers, ropes, etc., and is also called a tension meter. Tension is the force applied when a substance is pulled, and the tension that can be withstood differs depending on the substance or product. It is important to measure the tension applied to the material as the fibers may break or break if the tension exceeds the allowable tension. When measuring tension, stretch the sample while it is attached to the tension gauge. The tension meter used depends on the size of the sample to be attached and the range of tension you want to measure. Tension gauges can be used from wires and ropes to films and ribbons. Since tension is an important physical property value related to durability, tension meters are used for various materials and products. Tension gauges are used for materials that are often used in tension, such as ropes, wires, fibers, and copper wires. Tension gauges are also used to evaluate high load products such as winch ropes and elevator wires.　In addition, tension meters are also used for films and bundled ribbons. It may be used to assess the durability of a product, or it may be used to assess how much tension is applied to the film during a manufacturing process such as winding.
