Calibration and Accuracy
WX-1 series instruments are calibrated to customer-supplied materials to ensure the
greatest possible accuracy for each application. When ordering, please provide Tensitron
with a sample (approximately 10”-wide, 10’-long) of each material you’d like included in
the menu.
WX-1 meters display tension per
10” width of material
. Readings that equal PLI can
be provided instead, but the accuracy of each reading will be reduced.
Accuracy is material-specific. Typical accuracy for WX-1 instruments is summarized in
the table below, but actual accuracy may differ, depending on the properties of the
material used in the calibration:
