This guy outlines a simple tension meter you can build it yourself for
about $5.00
http://www1.foragebeef.ca/$foragebeef/frgebeef.nsf/all/frg35/$FILE/fencetension.pdf
It's for wire and not cable in which I'm interested in but the idea is
pretty simple:
Two wire guides 40" apart, deflect the wire with a spring scale ½
inch, multiply the scale reading by 20 to determine the amount of
tension on the wire.
I know this has no direct value with cables with 1000's of pounds of
tension (like guys), but I was wondering if anyone knows or can point
me to the math behind the idea?
Thanks,
Curbie
