LG Series
Mechanical Force Gauge
Operating Instructions
The LG Series mechanical force gauge
is ideal for a wide range of force test-
ing applications. Based on our popu-
lar DPP Series force gauge, the LG
Series features a larger, 2.25-inch dial
for improved resolution and readabil-
ity, peak hold button, ergonomic shape
and improved accuracy of +0.5% of
full scale. The LG gauge is an excel-
lent, economical solution for tensile or
compression testing.
The durable, plastic housing fits natu-
rally in the hand for a comfortable and
firm grip even at maximum loads.
Gauges may be mounted to a test
stand for even greater control and con-
sistent results in repetitive testing ap-
plications. Easy to read concentric
dial measures clockwise direction
only. Dial rotates 360-degrees for tar-
ing. A peak hold button captures peak
readings. Available in lbf, kgf or N
units of measure. LG Series gauges
come complete with protective carry-
ing case and a set of stainless steel
attachments. A Certificate of Calibra-
tion with Data is supplied standard.

Page 2: Operation
CAUTION The LG Series is a unidirectional force gauge. When applying a load to the instrument the dial indicator MUST rotate in the clockwise direction. OPERATION The zero point of the gauge may not always be in the 12 o’clock position due to gravity effects and the weight of fixtures or grips on the force gauge shaft. -
Page 3: Specifications
CAUTION Do not apply a load to the LG Series force gauge so the indicator rotates in the counterclockwise direction. If excessive loads are applied in the counterclockwise direction, damage may occur to the force gauge. PEAK HOLD The LG Series force gauge has a maximum hold feature. - Page 4 TEST STAND MOUNTING The LG Series force gauge has two #10-32 female threads for mounting to CHATILLON test stands. Ensure the #10-32 screws are not too long, otherwise it may bind and damage the force gauge. The screw thread length going into the back of the gauge should not exceed 3/8 inch.
