Construction & Durability
Built to Survive What Your Job Demands
Steel Flexing Beam Core
Crafted from precision heat-treated E4340 alloy steel, the flexing beam ensures maximum strength and long-term durability. It resists distortion under repeated stress, maintaining accuracy across years of demanding use.
Anti-Parallax Dial
The sealed 5-inch anti-parallax dial guarantees clear, reliable readings. By eliminating errors from viewing angles, it provides consistent precision no matter where you stand.

Features & Benefits
Features That Make the Difference
Maximum Pointer Memory
The maximum pointer captures and locks in the highest tension reached during a test, allowing results to be reviewed without having to watch the dial continuously. It resets quickly, making the unit ready for the next measurement in seconds.
Generous Shackle Openings
Heavy-duty, nickel-plated shackles are designed to accommodate a wide range of rigging hardware sizes. This flexibility ensures fast setup and compatibility across diverse applications while maintaining durability and resistance to corrosion.
Zero Control Function
The zero control allows for precise adjustment of up to 20% of capacity (800 lbs for this model), offsetting the weight of rigging or hardware. This ensures that the measurement reflects only the true applied load, delivering accurate and reliable results every time.
Wide Temperature Range
Engineered to perform in extreme climates, the dynamometer maintains accuracy from -50°F to 140°F. Its temperature-compensated design provides consistent readings whether used in arctic cold or scorching heat.

Calibration that protects your readings
“Paper-whipped” calibrations look official but don’t hold up. If 1% gear is used to “calibrate” an instrument that needs ±0.5% or 0.1% performance, you’re not getting calibration—you’re inheriting risk.
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.
