Spi 30-200-0 Mechanical Force Gauge 1% Accuracy

Product Description

The SPI 30-200-0 is a mechanical tension and compression force gauge designed for measuring both push and pull forces in pounds. It operates on a mechanical dial mechanism with no batteries or external power required, making it well suited for field and bench applications where portability and simplicity matter. The gauge delivers a measurement accuracy of 1.0 percent, which is appropriate for a wide range of force-testing and quality-verification tasks. With a compact footprint and straightforward analog readout, this instrument is built for technicians and tradespeople who need a reliable, direct-reading force measurement tool without the complexity of digital electronics.

This gauge is used in applications where tension or compression forces must be measured and documented, such as verifying spring tension, testing actuator load, checking valve or damper closing force, or validating mechanical assemblies. It is appropriate for use in HVAC service, mechanical maintenance, light manufacturing QC, and general trade applications where a portable, self-contained force gauge is needed. The pound-based scale makes readings straightforward in standard measurement environments.

Key Features

• Measures both tension and compression forces in a single instrument
• 1.0 percent accuracy for reliable field and bench measurement
• Pound-based measuring scale for direct standard-unit readout
• Mechanical dial design requires no power source or batteries
• Compact size at 2.36 inches long by 1.37 inches wide by 8.85 inches tall for easy handling and storage
• Lightweight at 1.65 pounds for comfortable one-hand operation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mechanical force gauge suitable for tension and compression measurement tasks across HVAC, mechanical maintenance, and light industrial applications where pound-scale force readings are required.

Installation Notes

This is a handheld measurement instrument, not an installed component. No permanent mounting or wiring is required for standard use. Ensure the gauge is zeroed before each measurement sequence and that the applied force is aligned with the gauge axis to prevent side-loading, which can affect accuracy and damage the mechanism. Consult the manufacturer documentation for maximum rated load before use to avoid overranging the instrument.
