AP Dynamometer

The AP dynamometer is Dillon's flagship line of mechanical spring-dial force measurement instruments, designed for power line tensioning, crane load testing, and heavy industrial force measurement. Available in 5-inch and 10-inch dial configurations, the AP series is the industry standard tool for utility construction and accounts for approximately 57% of total worldwide Dillon dynamometer sales.

The three highest-selling AP models worldwide are the 30006-0084 (28% of total Dillon sales), 30006-0100 (19%), and 30006-0050 (10%). All three are 5-inch dial mechanical dynamometers widely used in utility power line tensioning. Dynamic Measurement Systems stocks all three for same-day shipping.

Most industry programs require annual NIST-traceable calibration for AP dynamometers used in field tensioning operations. Operations with stricter documentation requirements may require more frequent intervals. Dynamic Measurement Systems provides NIST-traceable calibration with standard and expedited 24–48 hour options. Standard calibration for a 5-inch AP is $295; expedited service adds $100.
