ABSTRACT:
A cable tensiometer (referred to herein as a weight beam) is presented for measuring line tension in a wire rope. The cable tensiometer is characterized by a beam section, a load cell mounted on the beam section and configured so as to measure variable forces in tension, rather than in compression, and clamping of the cable at a single central point at the load cell, with all other cable contacts being free floating.
