Abstract:
A tension meter and a wrench arrangement comprising:a wrench; a tension meter mounted inside said wrench and adapted for detecting the tension of the said wrench upon operation of said wrench, an integrated device mounted on said wrench and electrically connected to said tension meter for signal output, said integrated device comprising: a Wheatstone bridge circuit, which provides a voltage output signal indicative of the amount of tension detected by said tension meter upon operation of said wrench, an amplifier, which amplifies the voltage output signal of said Wheatstone bridge circuit, a recorder, which records the amplifier voltage output signal outputted from said amplifier, process means, which converts the amplified voltage output signal outputted from said amplifier into a corresponding digital signal outputted from said amplifier into a corresponding digital signal, and output means, which displays the digital signal outputted from said processor means; a sliding sleeve axially slidably mounted thereon and adapted for protecting said integrated device; wherein the wrench comprises a handle and two work heads, one head is a biforked head and another head is a ring head; the tension meter and the integrated circuit are installed in the wrench; the tension meter is disposed near the two distal ends of the handle; the output means comprises a screen and a set of control buttons disposed on an outside of the handle and electrically connected to the tension meter.
