Cable tensiometer

Barfield expands its line with a cable tensiometer designed for testing and measuring tension of aircraft cables. The hand-held tool provides accurate readings for both American (pound) and international (Newtons) cabling measurements. It offers a precise method for measuring the existing tension in cables from 1/16 to 1/4 inch as well as from CWT5 to CWT45 (European standard). An entire testing operation can be done with one hand without using conversion tables. It is operated by a self-contained rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery with 16-hour minimum operational life as well as a 10-minute automatic shutoff feature.
