## Overview

The Loos Cableware Locoloc Tension Gauge is a rugged analog tool designed to measure cable tension from 70 to 800 pounds with ±5% accuracy. Its corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum body and ability to remain hooked during adjustments make it indispensable for sail rigging, large tents, and structural cables. Trusted by professionals for precise, real-time tension monitoring, it ensures safety and performance in demanding environments.

## Description

The Loos Cableware inch tension gauge measures the tension in cables to check for proper setup in sail rigging and supporting cables for large tents, radio towers, and other structures. This analog gauge shows present tension in pounds (lb.) and has a measurement accuracy of + or - 5 percent. The gauge shows readings on a graduated scale, and a calibration table on the unit converts a scale reading to the corresponding present tension and percentage breaking strength of the rope, based on 302/304 1 x 19 stainless-steel wire rope. The gauge can remain hooked on the wire during testing while the tension is adjusted. The Loos Cableware metric tension gauge has an anodized aluminum body that resists corrosion and wear. A 1/4" hole on the gauge's body allows a lanyard or hook to be attached to the gauge for securing it to the cable.Force gauges, also called push-pull gauges or tension gauges, measure the tensile (pull) or compression (push) force applied to an object. They are used to test the strength and functionality of a variety of machines, electronic components, cables, wires, and consumer products in scientific, medical, automotive, quality assurance, and manufacturing applications. A digital force gauge shows the amount of force in digits on the gauge's display. Response time varies among digital force gauges depending on the speed of the processor. An analog (or mechanical) force gauge shows measurements on a calibrated dial. Analog force gauges are not as precise as digital force gauges, but they provide instantaneous measurements and can be used in a wider range of environmental conditions than digital force gauges. Hooks, compression plates, levers, handles, test stands, and other accessories can be used with the gauge for taking measurements on objects with a range of shapes and sizes.Loos & Co. manufactures aircraft cable and wire rope and related measurement tools.

Review: Nice tool. Works as advertised. Get the right size for your cable diameter. - Easy to place on the cable to be measured. Consistent results from measurement to measurement. Nice to be able to adjust the tension and see the immediate result with the gauge on the cable. Add a small string and clip to tie it to the cable being measured, to stop it from flying off the boat if you happen to drop it :-) I made a nice canvas bag to store it in on the boat. Great lifetime tool. If you have 1/4" cables like me, you can get the smaller or larger version of the gauge, depending on whether you think you may also be measuring smaller or larger than 1/4" cables.
Review: 'TUNARIG' with The Loos Tension Gauge - This tension gauge is high quality and easy to use. The price is right too. Prevents over tensioning whi h can result in leaky chainplates. Also helps prevent unbalancing the shrouds which can result in demasting the vessel. This is so easy, I will check my standing rigging every month. Gives me the confidence that my rig is sound and well tuned for the race. Its a handy gadget. Chris Clark SV "Jack Lucky"

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on cable dia of 0.296**
A: The PT-2 works for cables 3/16, 7/32, and 1/4 inch in diameter. There are different gauges made for different size cables. See PT-3 and PT-1 to find the size you need for your cables.

**Q: what thw determining factors in deciding what is the right loos gauge ?  is it just a matter of measuring the diameter of the shrouds ?**
A: For larger cable sizes the Pro gauges are selected by cable diameter.  For smaller cables you could go with their economy gauges or the larger and more durable Pro gauges.   I wanted a durable gauge to keep and use on the boat so I bought the Pro PT-3.  I use it several times a year.  Make sure you use the right chart for the ambient temperature when you adjust the tension on your stays and shrouds.

**Q: Is this unit able to be used on an 1/8" cable railing system ? and then also use it for our O'Day Widgeon rigging ?**
A: Yes it can be used for 1/8 wire.  I dont have an answer about widgeon rigging though.

**Q: Can this be used to measure nylon/polypropylene rope tension?**
A: Good question.   It is primarily used for stainless cable tension on small sailboats.  The stainless does not stretch like nylon/poly rope will.   I would doubt its accuracy with nylon or poly.  If you are comparing two lengths of rope to make them the same, yes, I think it will work
