Wire crackmeter is designed to monitor changes in distance between two anchor points located at up to 30m. Typical applications include measurements of large displacement associated with landslides, monitoring of rock-masses, masonry cracks and surveying of earth faults. The wire crackmeter consists of a stainless steel transducer box and target assembly made by an eyebolt expansion anchor.
The electrical deformeter is used to monitor the displacement between two opposite surfaces and convergence in underground openings and tunnels. The displacement transducer is housed in a stainless steel body mounted on a fixing plate for wall/floor installation. A Kevlar rope forms the connection between the transducer and the target.
