The Flowserve compression type tensiometer replaces typical designs used for measuring cable tension. The result is a more practical load measurement system with many safety, operation and maintenance advantages.
- Applications:
Petroleum Production and Refining, Decoking - Industries:
Heavy Oil and Upgrading, Delayed Coking
Features and Benefits
The Flowserve compression type tensiometer puts the load measuring device in a compressive mode rather than in tension and provides the following benefits:
- All parts are manufactured of NACE grade corrosion-resistant stainless steel at hardness levels that mitigate stress corrosion cracking
- Direct cable attachment capability eliminates the need for commercial eye bolts
- May be located at the cutting deck for easy maintenance access
- Load cell can be unloaded without disconnecting the cable, allowing the strain gage amplifier to be zero adjusted with all components in place
- Removal and replacement of tensiometer can be accomplished without disconnecting the cable
- Design is compatible with existing strain gauge amplification modules and display units
