What is a Tension meter?

A tension meter is a device that measures the tension of a substance. Tension is the stress that acts when a substance is pulled, and its value varies depending on the substance and application. Tension can be measured by sandwiching the device with a thread or wire stretched. The equipment used depends on the tension range and sample shape. The tension meter used depends on the range of tension you want to measure. Various types of equipment are sold, from those with high tension such as thick wires to those for low loads. There are also devices on the market that measure the tension of wide samples such as films.

Application of Tension meter

Tension meters are used to manage the tension of wires, strings, ropes, etc. A tension meter is used to check how much tension is applied when actually using a wire, etc., and whether it is within the allowable tension range. Tension meters are also used in the film manufacturing process The tension meter is also used to measure the tension applied to the film during the process. For example, if the tension applied in the process of running the film is weak, waves will be generated in the film, and if the tension applied is strong, the film will be in an excessively stretched state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent material changes by measuring and controlling the tension in the process.
