TETKO MAT – Screen Tension Gauges STG Series
Brand: Rankconn Instruments
Model: STG-50N, STG-80N
Product Definition:
The STG Series Screen Tension Meter is designed to measure how taut a woven material is when tension has been applied in two directions at right angles to each other, as in the case of a screen printing frame.
Its operating principle is similar to Durometers, except that it is fitted with a one-inch bar indenter placed midway between two outer ''reference'' bars spaced two inches apart, instead of an indenter ball. When the instrument is placed on the material, the greater the tension, the more the bar will be pushed in, and the greater the reading on the scale.
Optimum tension levels are the key obtaining the maximum performance of the mesh:
Improved print quality
Consistent registration print after print.
Longer screen life by avoiding over tensioned screens.
