Concrete Crack Monitors for Concrete Repair: Concrete Crack Monitor Plus
The Concrete Crack Monitor Plus is vandal-resistant clear polycarbonate with 25mm horizontally and 10mm vertically. Adjustment slots for screws ensure secure placement. After attached, temporary pegs are removed so plates move independently. Spigots on both plates allow for 0.1mm measurement with calipers. A second Crack Monitor can be attached for 3D monitoring.
This device measures movement in concrete structures, gives accurate readings of crack movement in various conditions. Monitoring crack widths in concrete buildings, bridges and roads is easy and reliable with this Concrete Crack Monitor. The top plate overlaps and is transparent with a red crosshair cursor. The white bottom plate has a measuring grid in millimeters. Crack opening and closing is measured in 1mm increments. Monitors are attached with user supplied screws and adhesive.
Concrete crack monitors are the key to detecting and tracking changes in crack width over time which can indicate structural damage or instability. These devices give engineers and construction professionals accurate and reliable data to assess the severity of cracks and take action to keep the structure safe and sound. In this article we will look at concrete crack monitors, their features, benefits and applications.
What is a Concrete Crack Monitor?
A concrete crack monitor is a device to measure and monitor the width of cracks in concrete and masonry structures. It’s a crack gauge that gives accurate measurements of crack width so professionals can track changes over time. Concrete crack monitors detect and record crack movement, giving valuable data on crack progression. They are an essential tool for early detection of structural issues so action can be taken before further damage occurs.
How Crack Monitoring Works
Crack monitoring involves attaching a crack monitor to a flat surface near the crack. The monitor has two overlapping plates, one with a measuring grid. As the crack opens or closes the plates move relative to each other and the user can measure the change in crack width. This is tracked over time to give valuable data on crack progression. By looking at this data professionals can assess the severity of the damage and decide on maintenance or repair action to keep the structure safe and sound.
