Cable Tensiometers Webinar: Let's Keep the Proper Stress on the Cables, Not Your Nerves

Abstract:

Maintaining precise cable tension is crucial across various industries, including engineering, construction, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Cable tensiometers serve as indispensable instruments for measuring and monitoring this cable tension. However, the calibration of cable tensiometers is riddled with problems.
 
Clear communication between calibration labs and end users is essential to guarantee that calibrations accurately reflect how equipment is used in real-world situations.

This is especially crucial because different calibration methods can sometimes lead to discrepancies of over 20%, potentially casting doubt on the equipment's functionality.

We will delve into three crucial factors that can significantly impact calibration accuracy:

1. Calibration Method: Analysis of various calibration techniques and their influence on results.
2. Cable Length: The impact of different cable lengths used during calibration.
3. Cable Type: How variations in cable types (e.g., GAC vs. SSAC) affect calibration outcomes.
