Product Description |
The CRACKMON® is a simple, reliable, and inexpensive device that measures vertical
and horizontal differential movement in concrete and masonry surfaces. Ideal for restoration or analysis of
differential settlement, the CRACKMON is an indispensable tool for every contractor, builder, engineer, or homeowner. Available in
three conveniently sized PAKs, each CRACKMON is
precision manufactured in the USA to exacting Builders Websource® standards using premium-quality materials and workmanship for superior engineering accuracy. |
Who uses CRACKMON®?
Anyone who designs, builds, manages, maintains, lives in, or inspects brick, concrete, or masonry structures.
CRACKMON is used by architects, engineers, builders, home inspectors, government agencies, home owners'
associations, consultants and lawyers. The fastest growing use of the CRACKMON is in pre-construction surveys which
insurance companies require before tunneling or excavation can begin. By installing gauges on all noticeable cracks
in buildings next to your site, you can prove whether damage does or does not occur as a result of your project.
In addition, CRACKMON is ideal for assessing ongoing damage to foundations and masonry due to earthquakes, high
winds, ground subsidence (settlement) and soil upheaval (such as high clay content).
How does the CRACKMON® work?
CRACKMON consists of two overlapping acrylic plates. One plate is white with a black millimeter grid, while the
other is transparent with red crosshairs centered over the grid. Once the CRACKMON is in position across a crack,
the crosshairs shift vertically or horizontally on the grid if movement occurs, making it easy to see and track
crack movement.
Is the CRACKMON® accurate?
When
installed properly, the CRACKMON is very accurate. It can measure movements as small as 0.5 mm (.020 inch) and
crack widths up to 20 mm (0.79 inch). For more detailed specifications see the SPECS.
Installing the CRACKMON®
Install CRACKMON using either anchors and bolts / screws, 5-minute epoxy adhesive, or a
combination of both. If anchors and screws are used, the CRACKMON can be taken down and reused, but we don't
recommend this method of installation in areas easily accessible by the general public. The CRACKMON is less likely
to be removed by vandals if it is firmly epoxied in place.
When deciding whether to use anchors or epoxy, take into consideration the type of surface (for
example, brick, masonry, concrete), the location and the risks (including cosmetic) involved in drilling holes for
anchors. In some cases epoxy putty (if you can find a supplier) is the best mounting medium as it can minimize
surface damage, is more easily removed and helps compensate for uneven or curved surfaces.
The CRACKMON can even be used on corners, following these mounting guidelines:
