Subject: [TowerTalk] Phillystran Tension Gage

Hello,
I recently put up a 40' Glen Martin tower with phillystran guys (.22").   I was 
looking for a way  to measure the tension on the Phillystran to balance the 
install out.  I was originally thinking I could utilize the Loos PT-1 or PT-2 
but the ranges don't match the manufacturers specs.  The GM docs that I have 
call for 100-175 lbs.
Is there anything available to measure the force in that range that will take a 
.22" phillystran?
Thanks,
DaveKB8NNU
