stressed working condition.
STANDARD DESIGN
All units are easily adjusted, Types A, B, C and G
being supplied with a Turnbuckle built into the unit.
Type F units use a threaded load column.
Carbon Steel construction with Stainless Steel scale plate.
Ideally suited for highly corrosive environments such
as Offshore and Refining installations. Standard
design allows surface protection system on all internal
and external surfaces limiting potential corrosion.
Scale plate fitted with Hot (Red) and Cold (Blue)
load indicators.
