Tensimeter for multiwire chamber wires

Principle of operation and flowsheet of a device for measuring the mechanical tension in wires of multiwire chambers with the 1-5 percent accuracy is described. For measurements only one electrical contact with wire outlets is required. Tension determining goes automatically, manual mode of operation is also provided for. The principle of operation is based on the excitation and detection of mechanical oscillations of wires by the electronic way and by determining a resonance
