Crack Width Gauge Card for Concrete
Crack Width Gauge measures the width and length of cracks in concrete structures, pavements, and other structural materials like plaster or drywall. It’s a low cost alternative to a graduated microscope. Made of durable clear polycarbonate plastic. One side has black marks for direct comparative measurement of cracks from 0.1 to 7mm (0.004 to 0.275in) wide. The other side has clear 1mm graduations up to 165mm (6.5in) and is easy to use for width or length measurements of cracks even in tight corners. Available separately or as part of Crack Monitor Kits. Supplied wi
What is a Crack Width Gauge?
A crack width gauge is a tool used to measure the width of cracks in concrete and other building materials. Designed for this purpose, it’s a quick and easy way to measure the width of a crack which is critical to assessing the structural integrity of a building or structure. The gauge has graded lines or markings to measure the width of a crack accurately. Inspectors, engineers and contractors use crack width gauges to monitor buildings and str
Features:
-
Clear polycarbonate
-
Marked in mm
-
Markings on two long edges
-
Can measure in tight areas
The gauge is compact and portable, about the size of a credit card so easy to carry and use in the field.
Accuracy and Reliability
Concrete crack width gauges are designed to give accurate and reliable measurements of crack widths. Made from high quality materials like transparent plastic or thermoplastic they give precise measurements every time. They are calibrated to specific standards like the American Concrete Institute (ACI) so the measurements are accurate and consistent. Many crack width gauges also have unique serial numbers for engineering traceability and measurem
Included:
Crack Width Gauge
Place the gauge over the crack, align the graded lines or markings with the edges of the crack to measure the same width. This will give you accurate measurement of crack widths in concrete and other materials.

How to use a Crack Width Gauge
Using a crack width gauge is easy. First locate the crack you want to measure and make sure it’s clean and free of debris. Next place the gauge over the crack, align the graded lines or markings with the edges of the crack. Read the width from the gauge, note the width range and increments. Make sure you use the gauge correctly to get accurate measurements. If you’re unsure how to use the gauge, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consu
Applications and Industries
Concrete crack width gauges have many applications and are used in construction, engineering and building inspection. They are used to monitor the condition of buildings and structures over time, to track changes in crack widths and identify potential problems before they become major issues. Concrete crack width gauges are used in quality control and assurance programs to ensure building materials meet specific standards and specifications. They are also used in research and development to advance our knowledge of concrete behavio
