Features & Benefits
Key Features & Benefits
Maximum Pointer Memory
This feature locks in the highest tension reached during an operation, allowing crews to review load performance after the pull. It’s especially valuable during long or complex lifts where constant dial monitoring isn’t practical.
Generous Shackle Openings
The large, electroless nickel-plated shackles accommodate a variety of hooks, clevises, and rigging hardware. This ensures secure, flexible attachment points for different lifting and tensioning setups.
Zero Control Function
Enables precise offset adjustments of up to 20% of the model’s capacity (2,000 kg for the 30006-0118) to compensate for rigging or pre-load weight. This ensures measurements reflect only the true applied load, delivering consistent, reliable accuracy in every reading.
Extreme Weather Resistance
Operates dependably from -50°F to 140°F (-45°C to 60°C), delivering consistent performance in the most extreme climates. Built-in temperature stability ensures precise readings whether working in subzero cold or under intense desert heat.

Calibration that protects your readings
Many so-called calibration services use “good enough” equipment, accurate only to 1%, for instruments that require 0.1% accuracy. That’s not calibration, it’s liability.
Calibration for your Dillon AP Dynamometer
- NIST-traceable standards identified on your certificate
- Reference equipment 10x+ tighter (0.01% accuracy) than your AP spec
- Multi-point verification across full range with increasing/decreasing loads
- Actual before/after readings and uncertainties—no vague checkboxes
- Calibration sticker shows current date and next due date
- Expedited service available when needed
- Custom setups available, including arm-length configurations for pipe torquing and other unique requirements.
Did you know?
- Many “cal certs” omit before/after readings—without them, there’s no traceability trail if audits or incidents occur.
- Using a standard that isn’t tighter than your instrument inflates error and can push you out of tolerance in real-world use.
See how we calibrate, which fixtures and points we use, typical turn times, and what’s on the certificate.
