Mechanical Hand-Held Tension Meters ZD2

ZD2
Economical Tension Meter for Fibers, Yarns and Fine Wires
Precision movement and light-weight, hard plastic housing makes the Type Z Series ideal for accurately checking the operating or static tensions of a wide variety of process material including delicate yarns, fibers, filaments, wires, etc.
Features
- A trigger-operated, roller-shifting mechanism and exclusive snare-guide automatically guide the moving filament into the roller V-grooves eliminating breaks and snags.
- Front filament loading permits the operator to observe the filament, rollers and dial at all times.
- NIST-Traceable calibration available.
- Each instrument is individually calibrated with each scale hand marked to provide the highest reading accuracy.
- Roller guides are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, 5000 m/min.
- Supplied in an attractive foam-fitted carrying case.
