Description
Dillon GL Force Gauge with LCD Display, 5.5 lbf to 110 lbf (25 N to 500 N), Tension and Compression
The Dillon GL Force Gauge measures both tension (pull) and compression (push) forces, and you choose the capacity that fits your test: 5.5, 11, 22, 55 or 110 lbf. It reads in N, kgf or lbf on a backlit 4.5-digit LCD, runs on a rechargeable battery, and sends readings to a PC over RS-232.
The die-cast metal housing has four threaded mounting holes, so the gauge works handheld, on a test stand such as the optional Dillon CT manual stand, or built into a fixture. Every GL ships ready to test with a hook, flat plate, cone point, chisel and inverted chisel, an extension rod, charger and a plastic carry case.
