Testimonials
"We have been using Tangent Labs for calibration for close to 10 years now. I can always rely on Tangent to remind me when my gages require calibration. Trust me; with as many gages we use, this is a valuable service! They have always been on the spot when I have questions or need advice, and are always friendly and knowledgeable."

Chatillon DG Series

The Chatillon DG Series mechanical force gauge is ideal for tensile or compression force measurement applications up to 500 lbf, 250 kgf or 2500 N. This unidirectional force gauge has one end dedicated to tensile tests and the other dedicated to compressive tests. The gauge features a large 2-1/4-inch dial which rotates 360-degrees for taring. A peak hold button is easy to use- it holds the pointer at the peak load. The DG Series has a force measurement accuracy of better than 0.5% full scale and included mechanical overload protection. The gauge is available in lbf, kgf and N units. The gauge comes with a Certificate of Calibration with NIST data, accessories and carrying case.
Standard Gauge Measurement Functions
- Tensile Load (one direction dedicated to pull)
- Compression Load (one direction dedicated to push)
- Peak Tension or Compression Load (switch activated)
