I have an old surplus MIL-T-38760 tensiometer Type C-8.
here is what it looks like: http://www.tpub.com/content/electroniccalibrators/TB-9-6635-203-35/TB-9-6635-203-350006.htm here is the specifications: http://assist.daps.dla.mil/docimages/A/0000/0002/2430/000000070813_000000156847_TUTVMMVBNO.PDF?CFID=26987774&CFTOKEN=ea4e79c3f3aa5517-B0D62506-1372-548A-D3A3C8A51A091912&jsessionid=06304ceac7581a1a1831 It is capable of 10 to 200 LBS. I don't have the calibration bar, does anyone have a calibration bar for ANY tensiometer or a tensiometer in calabretion to use as a test standard? I will be more than happy to loan this out to members if we can verify the calibration. I do have a link to the calibration proceedure.
