The RTM can be used in applications where accurate measurement in pre loaded wire ropes is required. Such applications can be stay ropes,suspension ropes, catenary ropes etc. The RTM is applied direct to the ropeand the measured tension value is presented digitally. Gigasense products within Force Measurement and Crane Safety are well known high quality products,built from many years' experience and used by leading heavy duty industry around the world. Gigasense products meet the highest demands of performance level requirements.Weare represented by many selected local partners in more than 30 countries on six continents.
Rope Tension Meter Range of application The RTM was designed to swily and accurately measure the tension in fixed or stationary ropes or cables i.e. guy wires for masts and/or towers or other guyed constructions. The RTM will also be very useful in determining the tension in over- head suspension ropes for railways catenaries. The RTM can be used to measure tension forces up to 20 metric ton and for wireropes with a diameter of up to 38 mm. Thanks to the use of microprocessor technology the RTM can be calibrated on up to 10 different wire rope dimensions/ tyes. The digital read out display will clearly show the tension of the wire rope selected. No calibration tables are require
Function The RTM is very simple and handy to use.Simply hold and "clip" it to the rope to betested and use the large hand screw to deflect the rope to a fixed angle. The resultant force will then affect theload cell and measure the tension in the wire rope. The resultant signal is digitallyprocessed and displayed in a graduationselected and pre programmed. The RTM can be graduated in kN, klb. or in metricton
Safety The RTM is a delicate testing instrumentfor swily, handy and accurate testing of pre tensioned stationary ropes. Thanks to the design of the instrument it can temporarily be overloaded with 100% of its nominal capacity without affecting the accuracy of the instrument. Temperedouter rope supports and centre clamping jaw give the instrument a longservice life with accurate measurements. The RTM is delivered in a robust and light weight transport case (760 x 400 x 170 mm) for easy handling and protection of the instrument.
