    Product Description
    Heavy Duty Digital Tension Meter for Sensitive Materials
    3 Ranges up to 10 Kg
    For fiber optics, carbon fiber and other technical fibers


    DTLB Standard Model
    DTLX Data-Logging Model

    3 Ranges Up To 10 Kg
    For material diameters up to 8mm (5/16")

    DTLB and DTLX models feature large diameter rollers with wide roller spacing to minimize bending when measuring tensions on rigid/stiff materials such as certain canles, buffer tubes, central strength members, plastic tubes, etc.
