Maintain process and quality control in manufacturing and testing environments with the Tensitron TR tension meters. The Mechanical Trigger Tension Meter for Fine Wire & Filaments is used to check tensions on wire, yarn, fiber optics, film, tape, narrow fabrics, and flat materials. TR instruments provide measurable tension control for the major wire, textile, coil winding, EDM, fiber optic, and synthetic materials industries. For EDM wire, order TR-4000.

TR tension gauges are calibrated to one specific material for a direct tension reading. Digital instruments can be calibrated for up to ten different materials
