The unit features a plastic housing and displays readings in pounds. It is a direct-reading, analog instrument suited for quality control, assembly line verification, and field force measurement tasks. Technicians and inspectors use this gage to verify fastener tension, test spring loads, and confirm component pull-out or insertion force within acceptable tolerances. At 1.65 pounds, it is lightweight and portable for bench or field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis force gage is suited for mechanical inspection and testing applications in manufacturing, maintenance, and field service environments. It applies wherever a technician needs a quick, reliable reading of tensile or compressive force without powered instrumentation. The pound-graduated scale makes it straightforward to use in applications calibrated to imperial units. It is appropriate for light industrial, HVAC equipment assembly verification, electrical panel component testing, and general mechanical trade use where force measurement is part of the workflow.\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% full-scale accuracy for reliable field and bench readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePound-graduated scale for direct imperial-unit readout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight plastic housing at 1.65 pounds for portable use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnalog mechanical design requires no batteries or external power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact footprint at 8.85 inches tall, 2.36 inches long, and 1.37 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mechanical force gage for tension and compression measurement tasks requiring pound-unit readout and 1.0% accuracy in trade and industrial inspection applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis instrument is used by technicians and quality inspectors and requires no installation in the traditional sense. Before use, verify the gage reads zero with no load applied and recalibrate or zero-adjust if necessary per the manufacturer procedure. Apply force along the gage axis only to avoid side-loading, which can affect accuracy and damage internal components. Handle the plastic housing with care and store the gage away from impact or extreme temperature when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0% 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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.37 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: 30-201-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPIROTHERM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714439512370,"sku":"30-201-8","price":243.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e12a89941d7e2564058ffb728a931b20.jpg?v=1788501485","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spi-30-201-8-tension-compression-force-gage-pound-scale","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
