Abstract
A device, and method of using such a device, for measuring tension in a thin flexible tape by guiding the tape along a curved path between two parallel curved guides, supplying pressurized gaseous medium to each side of the tape, and measuring the difference in gas pressure between the two sides of the tape. Measuring ducts, terminating substantially opposite each other in the curved guide surfaces are connected to at least one pressure transducer which in turn is connected to an electrical measuring circuit.
