Post Belt tension cell phone app
I just discovered a cell phone app that accurately measures belt tension using sound frequency when you strum the belt.

I tested it, and it works great.

Here's how you do it

Download Tension2Go from your app store
Apple
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tens...585560650?mt=8
Android
ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/detai ... n2Go&hl=en

Choose
Belt-CONTI SYNCHROCHAIN
PROFILE- CTD
PITCH- C8M
WIDTH- 36MM
FREE SPAN LENGTH- TALL TRANSOM=543 SHORT TRANSOM=463
SUPER LONGTAIL=148

Tap start, hold phone speaker next to the belt, and strum it with your finger. It will give you a N value (newtons) the value needs to be as follows

Short transom= 956-1045
Tall transom= 956-1045
Super Longtail= 818-894

If you want to figure out how many lbs that is multiply the N by 4.448, then divide by 12 to get foot lbs.

GD has used an audio analyzer on the assembly line and for
in house repairs for years...

It costs over $600 though - so a cheap phone app is pretty cool !

Good Find !
