Digital Strap Tension Meter
Model STX-Series

Indicate Strap Tension in Lbs, KG, or Newtons.

Digital Strap Tension Meters are used to measure tension(s) on metal, plastic or other strapping. The Model STX series offers users utmost accuracy over a wide variety of materials.

STX main screen

Display shows tension, name of calibration selected, running line minimum and maximum tension values, and battery charge level.

STX - Data Logging 

Data Logging has adjustable duration and sampling rates. Large, easy to read backlit, graphic display with adjustable backlighting and contrast.

  • Select tension values to display in lbs, Kg, or Newtons.
  • Select strap material and size from menu. Instrument automatically adjusts calibration for your specific setting.
  • Accuracy is +/- 1% full-scale for all menu-selectable calibrations. Accuracy for custom calibrations is material specific
  • Up to 10 calibrations can be programmed into instrument. (All calibrations password protected.)
  • Adjustable LCD refresh rates allow for stable digital readings.
