Variable load indicator
Abstract
Weighing device measures loads as a function of its elongation. Device is compact, simple, and inexpensive. It does not require presetting and will measure any load from zero to its yield point. Because of its low cost relative to other load indicators such as strain gauges, device can be used as turnbuckle for tensioning straps, rods, or cables where accurate preloading is critical.
