PMI® Cordage Meter

The PMI® Cordage Meter provides accurate, repeatable rope and cordage measurements for professional shops, rescue teams, rope access operations, arborists, and other organizations that regularly cut or dispense rope. Designed for firm mounting to a bench or other stable surface, the meter provides a straightforward way to measure rope as it passes through the unit.

A no-slip toothed measuring wheel maintains positive contact with the cordage, while the guide trough controls rope travel through the meter. The analog counter adds or subtracts as cordage moves through the unit and can be quickly returned to zero with a single turn of the reset knob. Separate models are available for measurement in feet or meters.
