Details
The Tractel Dynarope Tensiometer HF 36/1/LPT is a precision wire rope tensiometer built for measuring forces in pretensioned wire ropes that cannot be dismantled, giving technicians a fast and reliable way to confirm required tension without disrupting the rope's installation. It fits directly onto the tensioned wire rope and is held in position simply by turning a handle, making it a practical tool for rigging, lifting, and structural monitoring applications.
Key Features:
- Design: Load cell with strain gauges paired with a microprocessor-driven digital display
- Smart Measurement: Calculates force based on rope diameter, composition, and structure that you enter
- Accuracy: Less than 1% of nominal capacity
- Operating Temperature: -4 to 140°F (-20 to 60°C)
- Display Modes: Shows mass or force readings
- Protection Rating: IP 65 (NEMA 4) for durability in demanding environments
- Shipping: FOB Tractel, Montreal, QC
Ideal For:
- Inspecting and verifying tension on installed wire ropes without dismantling
- Rigging and lifting operations requiring precise load confirmation
- Outdoor or industrial environments needing durable, weather-resistant equipment
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can this tensiometer be used on wire ropes that are already installed?
Yes, it is specifically designed for measuring forces in pretensioned wire ropes that cannot be dismantled, fitting directly onto the rope and held in place by turning a handle.
Q: How accurate is the Tractel Dynarope Tensiometer HF 36/1/LPT?
It delivers accuracy within less than 1% of nominal capacity, thanks to its load cell with strain gauges and microprocessor-driven display.
Q: Is this tensiometer suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?
Yes, it carries an IP 65 (NEMA 4) protection rating and operates across a wide temperature range of -4 to 140°F (-20 to 60°C).
