OPERATING YOUR GAUGE
The DF II Series gauge may be used as a hand-
held instrument or mounted to a Chatillon® tester
for compression and tensile testing.
hANDhElD OPERATION
When using the DF II Series gauge for handheld
testing, make sure to apply the load axially to the
load shaft.
Keep the gauge perpendicular to the item being
measured to ensure axial loading. Use the op-
tional handle assembly (SPK-DF-HANDLE) for high
capacity loads.
TEST STAND OPERATION
When using the DF II Series gauge with a Chatil-
lon® tester, make sure that the gauge is secured
to the tester with the proper adapter if required.
Adapters may be required to ensure that the gauge
shaft is located axially to the sample under test. If
the gauge is not secured properly, you may get
faulty reading or cause damage to the loadcell.
AFFIxING ADAPTERS & FIxTURES
Adapters and test fixtures should be mated to the
load shaft on the instrument. Do not use tools to
secure your adapters or fixtures. Finger torque
tightness is sufficient.

designed for axial loading only. Never
apply a side load to the load shaft.
CAUTIoN: Do not use hand tools to
secure adapters or fixtures to your
gauge. Over tightening will damage the

Secure fixtures and adapters with
“finger-tight” torque.
