Features & Benefits
Features That Make the Difference
Maximum Pointer Memory
Holds the peak load reading so operators can safely verify maximum tension after a lift without constantly monitoring the dial. This is critical during large-scale rigging or crane operations, where crews need to focus on the lift and confirm maximum forces afterward.
Generous Shackle Openings
Heavy-duty, nickel-plated shackles provide strong, corrosion-resistant connections and are designed to fit a wide variety of rigging gear. Their large openings give operators flexibility across multiple industrial applications.
Zero Control Function
Allows zero adjustment up to 20% of full capacity (2,000 kg for this model) to offset rigging weight or establish a reference baseline. This ensures measurement accuracy even when working with preloaded systems or heavy attachments.
Wide Temperature Range
Operates reliably from -50°C to +60°C (-58°F to +140°F), maintaining consistent accuracy whether in Arctic maintenance jobs or high-temperature oilfield and desert projects.

Calibration that protects your readings
Not all calibration is equal. Some providers issue “paper-whipped” certificates without using standards tight enough to truly validate your instrument. At Dynamic Measurement Systems, we don’t cut corners—every Dillon AP Dynamometer we ship is calibrated using NIST-traceable equipment at least 10x tighter (0.01% accuracy) than the instrument’s specification.
Calibration for Your Dillon AP Dynamometer
- NIST-Traceable Standards – Each certificate clearly identifies the reference standards used.
- High-Precision Reference Equipment – 0.01% accuracy, more than 10x tighter than AP specs.
- Full-Range Verification – Multi-point checks across the load range, both increasing and decreasing.
- Transparent Results – Actual before/after readings and uncertainties, never vague checkboxes.
- Calibration Sticker – Shows certification date and next due date at a glance.
- Expedited Service – Fast turnaround available for urgent field or project requirements.
- Custom Setups – Support for unique applications, including extended arm-length torque testing.
Did You Know?
- Many calibration certificates skip critical before/after readings. Without them, you lose the traceability trail needed for audits, compliance, or liability defense.
- Using reference standards that aren’t significantly tighter than your instrument only increases error and risk in real-world use.
