----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Per aircraft mechanics shop manual:To determine the amount of tension on a
cable, a tensionmeter is used. When properly maintained a tensiometer is 98%
accurate. Cable tension is determined by measuring the amount of force needed to
make an offset in the cable between two hardened steel blocks, called anvils. A
riser or plunger is pressed against the cable to form the offset. Several
manufacturers make a variety of tensiometers, each type designed for different
kinds of cable, cable sizes, and cable tensions.
Cable rigging tension
charts are graphic tools used to compensate for temperature variations.
Note; If anyone wants a copy of typical cable rigging chart, I
can furnish by snail mail.
