This is the only tension meter available for hand-held portable use for measurement on paper webs. The sensor is typically supplied with the battery powered D-485 Digital Indicator which will show empirical values from 0-100 with a resolution of 1 unit, and provides auto-zero, peak-hold and averaging function. 

Adjustable Measuring Geometry is a critical feature needed to configure the 3 Roller tension meter for optimum measuring results on a variety of paper applications. A micrometer moves the center sensing roller up or down, adjusting the amount of resultant force. If the sensor roller is extended too far into the paper web it will disturb the web create force vectors that will cause inaccuracies in the tension reading.
