Features and Benefits

The Flowserve compression type tensiometer puts the load measuring device in a compressive mode rather than in tension and provides the following benefits:

• All parts are manufactured of NACE grade corrosion-resistant stainless steel at hardness levels that mitigate stress corrosion cracking
• Direct cable attachment capability eliminates the need for commercial eye bolts
• May be located at the cutting deck for easy maintenance access
• Load cell can be unloaded without disconnecting the cable, allowing the strain gage amplifier to be zero adjusted with all components in place
• Removal and replacement of tensiometer can be accomplished without disconnecting the cable
• Design is compatible with existing strain gauge amplification modules and display units
