WTM 502 - WIRE TENSION METER
he WTM 502 tension meter quickly measures tension in cable
guardrails, guy lines and overhead wires. It installs, measures
T
and removes in seconds. The digital load cell is highly accurate
and requires no lookup or correction tables. The operator can quickly
select from 15 different wire sizes and types stored in memory. The
quick tension mode graphically displays the current and target tension
for extremely quick setting of line tension. Typical applications include
tower and stack guy wires, pre-tensioned cable barriers, bridges,
elevators, winch rope, pre-stressed concrete, fall arrest systems, aircraft
cables and utilities.
