Description
Mechanical gram gauges are low-cost instruments design to apply tension and compression via a leaf spring connected to a moving lever.
The needle moves across a scale graduated in gf whilst pushing a slave pointer, which remains in position at the end of the test to indicate the maximum force.
The DGD range of gram gauges features seven models, covering forces from 5 gf up to 1000 gf.
Compact and lightweight, gram gauges are highly portable and are an ideal solution for any environment where simple low force measurement is required.
Rated to an accuracy of ±2% of full scale (±2.5% for DGD-9 version).
| Model | DGD-1 | DGD-2 | DGD-3 | DGD-6 | DGD-7 | DGD-8 | DGD-9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| gf | 1 – 5 | 2.5 – 15 | 10 – 50 | 50 – 200 | 50 – 300 | 100 – 500 | 200 – 1000 |
Accuracy
±2% of full scale (eg DGD-6 has full-scale capacity of 200 gf so is accurate to ±4 gf at any point of the range between 50 – 200 gf)
±2.5% of full scale for DGD-9
Weight
87g (DGD-1 to DGD-8)
