Alot of the companies out there use Standards developed internally, centered around there paste, equipment, and reflow processes. Normally you will see either 5mil or 6mil stencils used for everything in house with the exceptions of specific boards.(

Please explain why you would want to measure stencil tension.

I also was kind of wondering to why you need to measure stencil tension.

Things of this nature make us raise an eyebrow. Something along the lines of automatic solder paste mixers......

Hi, I need to start measuring the stencil tension at my factory. Does anybody know a good tensiometer to tell me? A good brand and trustable? Thanks!

I used this for a couple of weeks some years ago, I was able to detect some issues whith some stenciles, but I did not use it for a long time, it may help you.

Manoel, We have never heard of such a request from a customer. I can't say that we have ever had issues with stencil tension unless we were using frameless foils or the binding came loose.
