{"title":"Rig Tension Gauges for Dinghies","description":"\u003cp\u003eRig tension gauges in anodised aluminium for accurate measurement of standing rigging tension on wire and rod, available in five versions covering wire diameters from ø2.5mm to ø10mm and rod sizes up to -12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rig tension gauge measures the load in a shroud or stay by deflecting the wire a known amount and reading the corresponding tension from a scale. It allows rig settings to be set accurately and replicated between sessions. This is particularly useful when class tuning guides specify shroud tension as a gauge reading rather than a number of turns on a rigging screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first choice is wire diameter. Each gauge covers a range of wire sizes. Match the gauge to the wire diameter used on your boat. For most dinghy standing rigging in ø2.5mm, ø3mm and ø4mm wire, the PT-1M or Model A is the correct choice. Larger wire diameters in ø5mm to ø7mm suit the PT-2M, and ø7mm to ø10mm suit the PT-3M. For rod rigging, the RT-10 covers sizes -4 through -12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second choice is between the professional and standard versions for the ø2.5–4mm range. The Loos PT-1M professional gauge stays attached to the rigging while tension is adjusted, allowing you to watch the reading change in real time. The Model A standard gauge is a simpler and less expensive option for occasional use where this feature is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in this collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLoos Model A gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e (592-037) is a standard anodised aluminium tension gauge for ø2.5mm, ø3.0mm and ø4.0mm wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLoos PT-1M professional gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e (592-034) is a high-accuracy anodised aluminium gauge for ø2.5mm, ø3.0mm and ø4.0mm wire.
