Tension Meter Models

A tension meter is a device used to measure tension in wires, cables, textiles, belts and more. Meters commonly use a 3 roller system where the material travels through the rollers causing deflection in the center roller that is connected to a load cell on digital models.

We offer Various types of Pit Gauges for different applications, including the Tri-Gauge for basic evaluation and the Bridging Pit Gauge for evaluating large areas of weight loss corrosion, and much more.

BTM-400PLUS Belt Tension Meter, Frequency Meter, Sonic Tension Gauge

BTM-400PLUS Belt Tension Meter, Frequency Meter, Sonic Tension Gauge

The Checkline BTM-400PLUS Belt Tension Meter, Trummeter or Tensiometer also called a Sonic Tension Meter Includes two (2) separate Sensors a plug-in type for one-handed operation and a cable-connected type for measuring belts with limited access spaceDisplays tension in hertz or newtonsCompact easy-to-use design

The Checkline BTM-400PLUS Belt Tension Meter is supplied with both plug-in and cable-connected sensors. The BTM-4000PLUS Belt Tension Meter, also called a Sonic Tension Meter, accurately measures the static tension of flat, V and ribbed belts of rubber, leather, fabric and composite materials by measuring the natural frequency (Hz) of a segment of the belt that has been tapped and then converting it into tension units of newtons (N) or pounds force (lbf). The BTM-4000PLUS uses a pulsed ruby red light source to measure the natural frequency of the vibrating belt. Unlike competitive models, the BTM-400PLUS is NOT affected by ambient noise, providing quick reliable results in all production and field applications.
