how do u measure grams of pressure

[HaroldL]

The shafts of the SG device have 3 horizontal lines. Does anyone know if that is a pressure indicator of 800g, 1200g, etc?

Thanks

On the Size Genetics device, I think those lines are cosmetic. The force of stretch depends on the starting length of the device compared to the erect length of the penis (measured from the pubic bone). If the device is 2 cm longer than the penis, the force is 1200 grams, for example.

Hi Harold,

Yes the lines are the pressure indicators, I believe the one at the glans end is 600g and then coming back toward the base, the middle one is 900g and the last at the base is 1200g, the base bars are springloaded, the lower bar (with the marks) slides within the top bar. The top bar denotes the amount of force being applied by the springs according to which line it rests on or near.

who do u measure the grams of pressure on the device and how do u know what amount of length ur using on the device in centimeters?

Hi mate,
Please read the instruction booklet that comes with the device, it tells you how to set the device up and measuring etc. I have merged your thread with this one, and urge you to read it and other threads in this forum that relate to the device ;)

You know, I tried to "screw the springs down" to even the first line on my side bars, but no deal. I can't get it even close to the first line before the threaded ends come out of the receptacles in the base. Therefore I presume that these lines denote certain spring forces, but that these are only accurate when you start with the device at some pre-determined length...say that of your erect penis.

I would think that, practically speaking, if the device was applied with it's length set to be equal to some standardized length (the length of a given penis, for example), then this would be one way to insure that an accurate tension force is developed at each of the lines on the arms. Because the lengths of the arms can be adjusted to 'take up the slack' of the device relative to any given penis length, then the starting point tension (ie; grams of spring force) should in fact be standardizable for just about any penis length. Does this not make sense?

Dazz, correct me on this if I am mistaken... But that's what makes sense to me.

To go back to the original question about SizeGenetics, I replied with the traction forces in a previous thread not long ago:

It is post #5 on this thread, hope this helps?:)

Hi mate,
I have provided pics with the arms wound in and out ;). Winding the knurled knobs out will increase the tension on the headpiece via the rods. Winding out or in a little, comes in handy if you need to increase or decrease the tension throughout the day without adding or subtracting spacer bars. Make sure the rods are firmly screwed into the receptacles at the base though or you may unscrew from there instead as you have noted
This thread discusses it more as well

Dazz,

I defintely see the benefit in a few turns of the little screws--that works great to 'take up the slack' as you suggest. My issue was that I could not see how you can wind it out far enough to cause the outer sleeve to meet the line on the inner sleeve. That's all I was trying to say.

Hi Jaco,
I see the need to write a more detailed article on this subject, please stay tuned ;)

Hi Daz

Thanks for taking the time to write some detailed info on this topic for the SG device. Definately would be helpful to know a bit more on this. I know I will use my .3 and .5 rod pieces if I use this method to increase a little tension. Be nice if you know by how far out you turn how to tell the actual force that is being applied.

Hi Jaco

I am thinking the marks on the SG are cosmetic. I have seen few other threads that asked similar questions for the SG and i know I seen someone say they were just cosmetic. Hopefully Daz can lay that question to rest when he gets the info out to us.

As always Thanks Daz for your help!

Good Luck Jaco with your gains, And next week Ill have to let you know my gains after my ofical 1 month of use since your just a month behind me.

Hi.
Umm.. i only have 2 bars on the arms of my device. Also when I compress the springs these bars are still visible ! - so how can they be a measure of force ?

Knowing the force doesn't really matter anyway does it.....as long as we can feel the stretch ...
by the way.. is the calculation of the personal size of SG done with a NBEL or BEL ?

Thanks

There is of course a good way to measure the 'grams of pressure'. Put the device on a scale and measure how much it weighs. Put it on the scale again, standing on its base and push down the top till it reaches the first bar ... the difference in weight is equal to the 'grams of pressure' ... repeat it for the second and the third bar and you have calibrated your device.
