Yes, definitely is. You'll need a conversion table.

The main flaw with Loos gauges is that they do not account for material stiffness differences, dyform is stiffer than conventional rigging wire so would theoretically read higher on a loos gauge for the same tension, however i am unsure how significant a difference it would be

Is there any difference using a Loos gauge for rig tension on Dyform shrouds to 'conventional' multi strand steel shrouds?
