The PDX 934 offers ultrasonic pre-load control with built in microprocessor electronics.
The guage, which is distributed by W. Christie (Industrial) of Seaward St, Glasgow, is connected to a threaded fastener through a transducer where it can monitor stud extension to ±0.0001 inches.
The manufacturer claims that the unit can compensate for temperature changes and is particularly suitable where fasteners in blind holes must be measured accurately to see that they have reached the desired stretch.
