Crack Detection Microscope

Specifically Designed for measuring cracks in concrete

Introduction

Description

The Crack Detection microscope is a high quality product designed for measuring crack
widths, both in concrete and other materials. British made, the high definition microscope
is connected to an adjustable light source which provides a well - illuminated image under
all working conditions.

The image is focused by turning the knob at the side of the microscope and the eye - piece
graticule can be rotated through 360° to align with the direction of the crack under
examination.

The 4mm range of measurement has a lower scale divided into 0.2mm divisions. These
0.2mm divisions are sub - divided into 0.02mm divisions.

Current Codes of practice, state that calculated maximum crack widths should not exceed
certain values:
