| Loos & Co. Sailboat Tension Gauges |
Loos Cableware® Division offers a series of gauges to measure the tension in cables and rods from 3/32 to 3/8 inch in diameter (2.5 mm to 10 mm). These gauges are designed for setting the proper tension in the standing rigging of sailboats and also for other applications such as supporting cables for radio towers, large tents and other structures. The gauges are relatively inexpensive and are designed to be suitable for rugged marine service. The gauges measure tension over a range of approximately 5 to 25 % of the breaking strength of the cable or rod and provide an accuracy of + or - 5%. The "Professional Models", PT , RT and 90 & 91 series provide an increasing durability, accuracy and convenience of use when compared to our popular standard models. The Loos gauge may be hooked on the wire and will remain in position while the tension is adjusted.
The Loos tension gauges take the guesswork out of cable or rod tension adjustment. They are especially designed for accurate, repeatable tuning of a sailboat's standing rigging.
