Answer from Ningbo Changshi: The choice between a digital and a hydraulic tension meter often depends on the specific application, budget, and required precision.

• Hydraulic Tension Meters: These meters operate by using a hydraulic cylinder that converts the pulling force into pressure, which is then read on a gauge. They are known for being extremely rugged, reliable, and able to withstand harsh working conditions with minimal maintenance. Their mechanical design makes them perfect for high-capacity, heavy-duty applications, such as stringing large conductors, where maximum durability is the priority.

• Digital Tension Meters: These meters use a load cell to electronically measure the tension. They are highly accurate and often come with advanced features, such as data logging, real-time readouts, and even Bluetooth connectivity for remote monitoring. Digital meters are ideal for projects that require precise documentation, multiple measurements, or a streamlined workflow.

For our overhead transmission line equipment, we offer both types to meet the diverse needs of our clients. For projects requiring the most robust and reliable performance in the field, our hydraulic meters are a go-to choice. For modern applications where data and precision are key, a digital meter is the ideal solution.
