The G1+ gauge, like the other G1 family gauges, is suitable for monitoring parallel lip cracks progressing along a single axis.
Easy “digital” reading accurate to 1/20th of a mm.
Delivered with a box of 10 gauges, 1 pen and detailed notice.

Digital reading of the G1+ gaugeThe major innovation provided by the G1+ gauge resides in its “digital” readout of tenths of mm: indeed, each 1/10 mm movement of the pull tab causes the concomitant obstruction of a row of 6 white lights placed on this same tab. Each row is assigned to a digit (0 to 9) corresponding to the tenths of mm.
By subtracting the first from the second reading, we can infer that the crack has grown by 0.55 mm in a little more than 3 months. The vernier, located on the top of the pull tab, will confirm these results if necessary (for instructions on reading the vernier, see the G1 gauge product sheet), though it will be necessary to use a thread counter to read the result of 34.15. Besides its 1/20 mm precision, combined with its ease and comfort of reading, the G1+ gauge also means:

Fixing the gaugeBy gluing: the gauge can be fixed easily and fastly using double-sides self-adhesive tabs. It is possible to strengthen the sticking using epoxy glue with rapid hardening in twin syringe. By mechanical fixation: G1 family gauges are supplied ready drilled with two Ø4 mm holes. These holes facilitate fixing by mechanical means using plugs and screws on difficult structures where self-adhesion and sticking are not possible. We recommend gluing the gauges to the structure wherever the condition of its surface does not allow the use of self-adhesive tabs. Result of fixing with anchors and screws: | ||
Measuring the variation in a crack in a vertical or horizontal internal angleIt is possible to fix the gauge in angle : G1 family gauges are supplied with a foldable plastic angle bar. | ||
Gauge protectionWe recommend that gauges used in public places -schools, shops, streets – should be protected. |
