Professional Tension Gauge for Wire Rigging
Model PT-1
Loos "Professional Tension Gauges" are designed to provide accurate measurements of the tension in rigging wire and other types of cable used in both recreational and industrial applications. They find great use for accurate and repeatable tuning of a sailboat's standing rigging.
Different models of the gauge are designed to cover a tension range from approximately 5% to 25% of the breaking strength of the wire, and they are tested to provide an accuracy of plus or minus 3% at midrange.
Manufactured from rugged, anodized aluminum, these gauges are corrosion-resistant and will give years of service. The gauge is hooked on the wire and remains in position while the tension is adjusted.
