d-Micro Geotechnical Crackmeter

The d-Micro Crackmeter can be used for:

  • monitoring any individual or interface crack in a structure
  • monitoring cracks in underground mines such as lunch rooms and garages
  • monitoring cracks in parking garages
  • monitoring cracks in dams under rehabilitation
  • monitoring cracks in residential structures subjected to blast vibration and fracking vibration
  • monitoring bridge-deck behaviour
  • monitoring of pillars and posts

Description

The d-Micro outputs readings directly in degrees C and microns which eliminates the necessity for expensive analog-to-digital conversion. Readings can also be made using the USB port of a laptop or tablet computer (SensorViewer). Long term, low power, data logging is possible using the low cost dLoggers. A Real-time plug-and-play network of d-micro sensors or of any combinations of any other YieldPoint Instruments can be built in minutes using the IoT Gateway or d-Mesh.

These features make solutions based on d-micro instruments extremely cost effective. d-micro can be easily installed and removed from all types of structures using convenient corrosion-proof nylon connectors
