1 General
The PIAB Rope Tension Meter RTM 20 D is an instrument specially designed for
measuring the tension in different kind of ropes. The measurements are made accurate
and swiftly somewhere on the tensed rope, whithout any extra preparations (off-loading
e.t.c.).
The measurements can be done on ropes with different diameters and different designs.
The ropes can be made of steel, metal or plastic material, and used as Guy-wires,
suspension wires, support wires for cationary systems e.t.c.

The RTM 20 D is able to
contain up to 10 different
calibrations.
I.e. measurements can be
done on 10 different ropes,
“Rope No”, without being
forced to use conversion
tables. On the display you
get the right tension for
these ropes.
With the Rope-List,
attached to the instrument,
you can select the correct
“Rope No” (calibration).
In order to strongly
increase the accuracity of
the readings, each rope is
calibrated at four points.
These are: 0%, 30%, 60%
och 100% of "Cal Cap"
