Features & Benefits
Features That Make the Difference
Maximum Pointer Memory
Captures and holds the peak load reading so operators can safely verify maximum tension after the lift. This prevents the need to constantly monitor the dial during critical operations.
Generous Shackle Openings
Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant shackles provide secure connections and are designed to fit a wide range of rigging hardware.
Zero Control Function
Enables zero adjustment up to 20% of capacity (200 lb) to offset rigging weight or establish a baseline before measurement.
Wide Temperature Range
Performs reliably from -50°C to +60°C (-58°F to +140°F), ensuring consistent accuracy in extreme environments, from Arctic conditions to desert heat.

Calibration that protects your readings
Not all calibration services are created equal. Some providers issue “paper whip” certificates without using precise enough reference standards—putting your operation at risk. At Dynamic Measurement Systems, we don’t cut corners. Every Dillon AP Dynamometer we ship or service is calibrated with NIST-traceable equipment accurate to 0.01% or better—ten times tighter than the instrument’s own specification.
Calibration for Your Dillon AP Dynamometer
- NIST-Traceable Standards – Each certificate clearly identifies the reference equipment used.
- Superior Accuracy – Reference standards 10x tighter (0.01% accuracy) than your AP spec.
- Multi-Point Verification – Tested across the full range with both increasing and decreasing loads.
- Detailed Results – Before/after readings and uncertainty data, not just vague checkboxes.
- Calibration Sticker – Clear labeling of current date and next due date for easy compliance.
- Expedited Service – Priority turnaround available for urgent projects.
- Custom Setups – Support for unique configurations such as arm-length adjustments for pipe torquing.
Did You Know?
- Many calibration certificates omit before/after readings—without them, there’s no real traceability trail for audits or incident investigations.
- Using reference standards that aren’t tighter than your instrument inflates error and can push your operation out of tolerance in real-world conditions.
With Dynamic Measurement Systems, you know exactly how your instrument was calibrated, the fixtures and test points used, and the data that backs your certification.
