Applications
Jointmeters are used to monitor movement at joints and cracks in concrete and rock.
- Monitoring joints for unexpected movement to provide early warning of performance problems
- Monitor joints and cracks in structures that may be affected by nearby construction activities.
- Monitor cracks in structures that have experienced seismic activity.
Types of Jointmeters
VW Crackmeter
The VW crackmeter is used to monitor movement at joints and cracks in concrete structures or rock.
Advantages: High Accuracy 0.3 mm, Two Ranges available in 60 and 100 mm ranges, Temperature Measurement with a temperature sensor, Manual or easily to connect with data logger for unattended monitoring.
For more information please refer to datasheet.

VW Embedment Jointmeters
The VW embedment jointmeter is used to monitor movement at joints in mass-concrete structures such as abutments, foundations, and dams.
Advantages: high accuracy 0.5% full scale and a repeatability of ±0.3 mm, allow approximately 10 mm of shear movement in any direction, temperature measurement, can connects easily to a data logger for unattended monitoring.
For more information please refer to datasheet.

3-D Jointmeters
3-D submersible jointmeters are used to monitor movement at joints in concrete structures.
Advantage: installation requires only small diameter, shallow drill holes in the concrete slab, the jointmeter is easily connected to a data logger for unattended monitoring
