Wire Crack Meter

Kingmach’s wire crack meters draw on years of experience in geotechnical instrumentation. Unlike generic sensors, these are assembled with attention to the conditions they’ll face—dust, moisture, temperature swings, and vibration. Typical models use either vibrating wire or potentiometric sensing elements. The vibrating wire option gives you stable, long-term readings unaffected by cable length, while the potentiometric type offers lower cost for shorter runs. Both can be ordered with gauge lengths from 50mm to 300mm, and we often customize the anchor fittings, cable connectors, and output signals to match your data logger or SCADA system. The sensor body is sealed against water ingress, and the wire itself is stainless steel, rated for outdoor exposure. Installation is simple: you drill anchors on either side of the crack, mount the sensor, tension the wire, and zero the reading. From there, it measures any widening or closing over time. We understand that every project has its own constraints. That’s why we offer not just the hardware but also guidance on placement, wiring, and calibration. Our technical team can review your site plans and suggest the right setup, whether you need a single meter for a small retaining wall or dozens for a large dam safety network. After the sale, we keep supporting you with spare parts, recalibration, and troubleshooting. Many clients come back to us because we make the process straightforward and the data dependable, without overpromising.
