Mechanical Hand-Held Tension Meters KXB
KXB
Warp Tension Meter
A reference frame makes it easy to scoop up the selected number of ends for measurement and keeps the unit perpendicular while it rests on the warp. K10, K30 & EX ranges are supplied with a 10 mm sensing pin. For the 200 and 500 range codes select either a 17 or 34 mm sensing pin.

Features
- Width of the sensing pin 10 mm (17mm and 34 mm optionally available)
- Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges
- Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
- Large reference frame (15 x 17 cm) is placed on the warp threads allowing the safest and most accurate mesaurements possible.
- Supplied in foam-fitted hard-plastic carrying case

KXB Operation
We recommend always measuring the same number of ends, such as 5 or 10 ends (repeat of pattern) or only a single end at a time. During measurement make sure that the ends are not pulled or pressed out of their alignment.
