The Loos economy tension gauge takes the guesswork out of cable tension adjustment. It’s especially designed for accurate, repeatable tuning of a sailboat’s standing rigging. Manufactured of rugged anodized aluminum, the gauge is corrosion-resistant and will provide years of service. This is the Loos model “LTG-90B” for 3/16″, 7/32″, 1/4″, and 9/32″ cable.
To measure tension, simply hook the Loos gauge on the cable. Pull the lanyard until the pointer is positioned at the black calibration mark, and then read the scale at the exact point where the middle of the cable touches the scale. For best accuracy, the gauge should be held so that the scale barely touches the cable, thus eliminating friction.
