stiffness of EHS means that the readings would not be the same, even though
the tension would be. Unfortunately, I can't test this because my EHS
tails are too long.
Yes, but as you put more tension on a material it becomes more
rod-like. I didn't see any variation in the test I did regardless of the
material;
e.g. EHS, Phillystran and 7x19 galvanized wire rope.
