This link provides a number of belt tension calculators. It would be wise to use specific tension range based on OEM, belt type, and service conditions.
Setting and adjusting belt tension can be by one of these three methods:
1) Elongation or stretch
2) Span deflection with spring guage
3) Sonic method for belt span natural frequency (I perfer this method)
