Fabric & Web Tension Meter

Fast Accurate Tension Testing for Wide, Flat Materials Web Materials and Conveyor Belts.

Control Web Tension Before Quality Problems Start

Fabric & Web Tension Meter

Ensure consistency in manufacturing process, improve process control and production quality with the Tensitron WX tension meter. Measure the tension of wide, flat materials.

Ideal for Fabric, Paper, Film, Plastic sheets, Metal foils, Conveyor belts and more.

Calibrated to user-specified materials (up to 10). When ordering, provide a 10-foot-long, 8-inch-wide or more sample of each material the meter will be measuring.

Key Features
  • Quick, easy operation
  • Measures up to 10 different materials
  • Durable construction
  • Readings obtained regardless of meter position
  • Measures flat materials, 8” wide or more
  • Measures moving or stationary materials
  • Tension ranges from 0.5 lb. to 1,000 lb.
  • Backlit digital display with color-bar graphic
  • Selectable units (lb., kg, or daN)
  • Data storage and statistics
  • Analog or serial output (optional)
  • Includes carrying case and NIST-traceable calibration certificate
  • Side measurement using contact rollers on 4″ extensions

Web tension problems are not always visible until quality slips.

Wrinkles, stretching, tracking issues, and inconsistent roll quality can start with tension that is too high, too low, or uneven across the material. The WX gives teams a direct way to verify tension on wide, flat materials before defects show up in production
