INTRODUCTION
Encardio-rite crack and joint meters are ideally suited for measurement of movement. These measurements are
important for monitoring the behavior of civil structures and buildings.
The crack meter is used to measure change in width of a surface crack. It is used to monitor cracks in concrete
structures, rock, bridges, pavement slabs, etc. The joint meter is ideally suited for measurement of displacement/
movement across joints such as joint opening between two concrete/masonry blocks in a dam.
FEATURES APPLICATION
• Reliable and accurate. Crack meter: to monitor cracks in:
• Simple to install. • Concrete and arch dams.
• Simple to read. • Concrete structures.
• Rugged construction. • Rock, soil and masonry structures.
• Low cost. • Buildings affected due to nearby construction or
excavation activity.
Joint meter: to measure mass movement in:
• Construction and submerged joints in concrete
dams, structures and bridges.
• Tunnels and shaft linings.
• Rock, soil and masonry structures.
