Chatillon's WT12 Series dynamometers are versatile enough to be used as a weighing tensiometer or crane scale depending on the application.  WT12 series dynamometers feature large 12-inch (305 mm) dial face with shatter-resistant dial cover in a strong aluminum housing.  WT12-1000 tensiometers feature dial face showing units in pounds only, with 1000 pound maximum weighing capacity by 5 pound increments.  A manually engaged clutch freezes the pointer at its maximum reading for exact reading of peak weight.  Needle bearings in shackles prevent brinneling under heavy loads and eliminate shackle misalignment.

Dynamometer's weighing mechanism is sealed against dust and dirt.  Oiling tensiometer is not required.  Dynamometer comes with NIST traceable Certificate of Calibration with Data.
