Service and Maintenance
The tension meter is easy to maintain.
Depending on operating time and load, the tension meter should be checked according
to the locally valid regulations and conditions (as described in Chapter 3.4)
Other testing methods as described in chapter 3.4 can cause different measuring
readings.
The question of finding the right frequency of calibration accuracy verification depends
on several different factors:
Operating time and load of the SCHMIDT tension meter
Tolerance band defined by the customer
Changes of the tolerance band compared to previous verifications of calibration
Therefore, the interval between verifications must be determined by the user`s
Quality Assurance Department based on the user`s experience.
Assuming normal operating time and load as well as careful handling of the tension
meter, we recommend a verification interval of 1 year.
