Crack Measuring Device

Digital Position Strain Gauge Deformation Meter
The Digital Position Strain Gauge Deformation
Meter shown here consists of a digital dial gauge
attached to a bar. A fixed conical point is mounted
at one end of the bar, and a moving conical point is
mounted on a knife edge pivot at the opposite end.
A setting out bar is used to position pre-drilled discs
which are attached to the structure using a suitable
adhesive. Each time a reading has to be taken, the
conical points of the gauge are inserted into the
holes in the discs and the reading on the dial gauge
noted. In this way, strain changes in the structure
are converted into a change in the reading on the
dial gauge.
The gauge has been designed so that only minor
temperature corrections are required for changes in
ambient temperature, and a reference bar is
provided for this purpose.

 Measuring range : Compression - 1.6 ㎜ /

Tension - 3.4㎜
 Minimum measuring unit :0.001㎜
 Standard accessories: Digital crack
gauge, Calibration Bar, Installation Bar,
Locating Discs (box of 100)
Crack Magnifier
Crack widths are normally limited to 0.2 mm or 0.3 mm in concrete structures.  This inexpensive
crack measuring device enables accurate determination of whether cracks exceed this limit.

 Magnification 10x
 Measuring range 20 mm x 0.1 mm
 Field of View 32mm
 Special design permitting to read on light and dark objects
 Plastic case
This loupe also comes in a self-illuminating model. Powered by two c-cell batteries this model can be used in those
poorly lit areas where the natural light is dim or non-existent. 
 Crack Width Meter
The crack width meter is used as a comparator to give an approximate crack size during visual surveys.
 Made of durable plastic
 Graduations from 0.1 mm to 2.5 mm
Crack Monitor
On some structures the rotation at cracks is also significant. This gauge is specifically designed to measure rotation,
transverse and longitudinal movement. The crack monitor is:

 Made of polycarbonate
 Used for measuring movements: horizontal ± 20 mm, ±10 mm.
 Reading accuracy of: ± 0.5 mm on grid.
Crack Meter

The Vibrating Wire Crack Meter are used to measure movement across surface
cracks and joints in concrete, rock, soil and structures. They consist of a sensor outer body tube and an inner free
sliding rod which is connected at the internal end to a vibrating wire sensor by a spring.

Field Microscope
The field microscope is a small sized lightweight and conveniently portable microscope. Designed to
cover the range between high grade heavily equipped microscopes and measuring magnifiers. With a
magnification of 50 times this microscope can be used to accurately measure the width of cracks and
also combines a calibrated focusing ring allow the depth of cracks to also be accurately measured.

 Magnification 50x
 Measuring Range 1.6 mm x 0.02 mm
 Field of View 1.7 mm
 Comes with light

Elcometer 143 Crack Width Ruler

This simple gauge has been designed to provide inspectors with a low
cost alternative to a graduated microscope for determining the width
of a crack in a concrete or other building materials.
Similar in size to a standard credit card, this transparent gauge is marked with a range of graded
lines. Each line is a specified width.

To use, position the gauge over the crack and identify whcih line is a similar width to the crack. Read
off the width value.
