The Chatillon LG Series Mechanical Force Gauge is a versatile and economical instrument designed for a wide range of force testing applications, including both tensile and compression testing. It builds upon the popular DPP Series force gauge, offering enhanced features for improved usability and accuracy.
The LG Series force gauge measures force using a mechanical dial indicator. It is a unidirectional gauge, meaning the dial indicator must always rotate in the clockwise direction when a load is applied. This ensures accurate readings and prevents damage to the instrument. The gauge is equipped with a peak hold feature, which allows the user to capture and retain the maximum force reading after the load has been removed. The dial itself is concentric and measures in a clockwise direction only, with a 360-degree rotation capability for taring.
For compression testing, appropriate attachments or grips are assembled to the bottom shaft of the force gauge. The shaft is pushed into the gauge, causing the indicator to rotate clockwise. For tension testing, a hook, attachment, or grip is assembled to the top shaft, and the shaft is pulled out of the top of the gauge, again causing clockwise rotation of the indicator. Attachments should be applied "finger-tight" to prevent overtightening.
The gauge is designed for axial loading, and it is crucial to avoid applying loads at an angle, as this can introduce errors in the force readings. It also incorporates a 10% tare capacity for fixtures and grips, ensuring that the gauge can still measure up to its full scale even with the weight of accessories.
The LG Series is available in various capacities and resolutions across three unit types:
The LG Series is a robust and reliable instrument, backed by a two-year product warranty against defects in workmanship, material, and design, provided it has not been subjected to tampering, abuse, or highly corrosive conditions.
