Concrete Crack Monitor Kit: Digital Monitoring with 0-6in Caliper

Concrete Crack Monitor Kit: Digital Monitoring with 0-6in Caliper

The Digital Monitoring Kit is for precise measurements and monitoring of cracks. This kit includes Digital Caliper (0–6in or 0–12in caliper), 100 stainless steel Monitoring Discs, Rapid-Set Epoxy, Crack Width, instruction booklet and recording sheets. Can be attached with Rapid-Set Epoxy. Must measure crack widths before monitoring for accuracy. Everything is in a carrying bag.

Monitoring Measurements

• Choose from 3 kits depending on the level of monitoring required

• Complete set of components for precision monitoring, including small cavities to locate tools like the Digital Caliper

• Measurement range varies from 0.1mm to 7.0mm in small increments, so you can accurately evaluate structural integrity

• Clear acrylic gauges provide accurate readings, for professionals in construction and engineering

• Replacement items available individually

Accessories

The Concrete Crack Gauge Kit has additional accessories, such as the Feeler Gauge Set, to enhance its performance and accuracy. These include:

• Stainless steel discs: Where the digital caliper is located for consistent measurements.

• Polycarbonate plastic discs: Durable and corrosion resistant, these discs add an extra layer of reliability to the monitoring.

• Small cavities: For easy attachment to surfaces, these cavities make setup easy and quick.* Digital calipers: For accurate and reliable measurements these calipers measure in inches and millimeters.

• Crack record sheets: For tracking and monitoring crack movement over time these sheets provide a record of the crack’s progress.

• Mounting techniques: Effective mounting techniques, such as using screws and adhesives, ensure secure attachment of the monitoring discs for accurate monitoring.

• Screws: Screws are used for secure attachment of the monitoring discs, providing a reliable fastening option for accurate crack movement monitoring.

How to use the Concrete Crack Gauge Essentials Kit

The Concrete Crack Kit is a complete set of tools to monitor and measure crack movement in structures. The kit contains all the essential components needed for accurate monitoring, including stainless steel discs, a digital caliper and a crack record sheet. Follow these steps to use the kit:

1. Attach the stainless steel discs: Use a suitable adhesive to attach the discs to either side of the crack.

2. Use the digital caliper: Measure the crack width with the digital caliper. Make sure the caliper is on the stainless steel discs for accurate readings.

3. Record the measurements: Record the measurements on the crack record sheet. This will track the crack’s progress over time.

4. Repeat: Measure at regular intervals to monitor crack movement. Consistency is key to detecting changes in the crack’s movement.

By following these steps you can monitor concrete crack movement with the Concrete Crack Gauge Essentials Kit.

Why Monitor?

Monitoring cracks in concrete structures is critical for structure integrity and safety. Cracks are the first sign of a major defect and monitoring the width and severity of the crack will determine what needs to be done to fix the crack. By monitoring the crack width you can specify the remedial work to prevent further damage. Engineers rely on monitors to assess the structural integrity of buildings and other masonry structures. Regular monitoring will also prevent costly repairs and extend the life of concrete structures. Understanding why to monitor cracks will help you take action to preserve the structural health of concrete applications.

Accessories:

• Standard Crack Gauge: Simple design to monitor crack movement

• Crack Gauge Plus: To record movement and for digital caliper measurements

• Crack Width Gauge: Measure cracks up to 0.275in (7mm)

• Corner Adapter: Monitor corner angles 70 to 180°

• Digital Calipers: Measure in inches or millimeters

• Monitoring Discs: Attach to a flat surface on either side of the crack for consistent and accurate measurements

• 2-Part Epoxy: Attach measuring pegs, stainless steel monitoring discs or crack gauges to a surface.
