Jonard GPP-8 Polystyrene Push Pull Precision Force Gauge, 0-8oz, 0-220 Graduation, +/- 1 Accuracy

The Jonard polystyrene push-pull force gauge measures tensile (pull) or compression (push) forces. This analog gauge (also known as a mechanical gauge) measures present force in ounces (oz.) or grams (g), and the gauge has a measurement accuracy of + or - 1 graduation. The gauge is made from polystyrene, which resists wear. The Jonard polystyrene push-pull gauge measures 14 x 1 x 1-1/2 inches (H x W x D, where H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is the width, the horizontal distance from left to right; and D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back).

Force gauges, also called push-pull gauges or tension gauges, measure the tensile (pull) or compression (push) force applied to an object. They are used to test the strength and functionality of a variety of machines, electronic components, cables, wires, and consumer products in scientific, medical, automotive, quality assurance, and manufacturing applications. A digital force gauge shows the amount of force in digits on the gauge's display. Response time varies among digital force gauges depending on the speed of the processor. An analog (or mechanical) force gauge shows measurements on a calibrated dial. Analog force gauges are not as precise as digital force gauges, but they provide instantaneous measurements and can be used in a wider range of environmental conditions than digital force gauges. Hooks, compression plates, levers, handles, test stands, and other accessories can be used with the gauge for taking measurements on objects with a range of shapes and sizes.
