The unit features a plastic housing and delivers a measurement accuracy of 1.0% of full scale. Readings are displayed on an analog dial, making it well suited for field use, incoming inspection, and production-floor force verification. The gauge requires no power source and is ready to use without calibration setup, making it a practical tool for technicians and quality control professionals across mechanical and industrial trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gauge is used in applications where precise tension or compression force measurement is required without electronic instrumentation. Typical scenarios include spring-force testing, cable pull verification, assembly line torque and force checks, and field service inspections. The pound-unit scale makes it directly compatible with standard Imperial measurement workflows common in HVAC, mechanical, and light manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeasures both tension and compression forces in a single instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.0% accuracy for reliable force verification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastic housing provides lightweight, durable construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnalog dial display requires no batteries or power source\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePound-unit scale for direct Imperial measurement readout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suited for bench use and field service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mechanical force gauge for tension and compression measurement applications requiring pound-unit readout and analog display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gauge is a handheld measurement instrument and does not require permanent installation. Before use, ensure the gauge is zeroed according to the manufacturer procedure with no load applied. Apply force along the gauge axis only to avoid side-loading, which can affect accuracy and damage internal components. Technicians should handle the unit carefully to protect the analog mechanism from shock and impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0% of full scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring Units\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.37 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.65 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30-198-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPIROTHERM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693978779954,"sku":"30-198-6","price":243.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/751d587d21e9f0811c39e82c5865ac7b.jpg?v=1788319391","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spi-30-198-6-tension-compression-force-gauge","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
