Overview

The 3D Vibrating Wire Crack Meter is designed to provide precise and reliable data on the width and movement of cracks in three orthogonal directions (vertical, horizontal, and lateral), allowing for comprehensive analysis of crack behavior and structural integrity over time.
To obtain measurements, the 3D Crack Meter is installed by securely anchoring it to both sides of the crack. A temperature profile can also be determined using one (or all) of the embedded Thermistor within the Crack Meter sensors.
