There is only one direct method to measure wire tension which is agnostic to the wire material - a dynamo meter.

Other methods such as deflection, pulse counting, catenary sag, etc, require knowledge of the wire construction and materials.

Probably not if you're thinking of deflection gauges. Of course you can use a standard deflection gauge in the short steel EHS section of a guy wire near the ground, which is a *normal* component of Philly guy systems.

Are there gauges available for Phillystran?
