How does the SA Screen Tension Meter work?
The Screen Tension Meter incorporates a simple stainless steel weight, rather than the forever changing personality of springs and mechanisms, to deflect the screen fabric.
The spring and gear cog drag, inherent in conventional dial type screen tension meters, has been eliminated by the incorporation of an electronic indicator. A “wheelbase” twice that of conventional screen tension meters further increases its accuracy.
The simplicity of one moving part that relies on gravity makes this screen tension meter able to withstand hard use while providing you with the confidence of accurate and precise measurements that will be repeatable year after year.
