OVERVIEW
Designed for the accurate measurement of crack growth in metals, the CGM-5R Crack Growth Monitor
operates by establishing an alternating current of constant amplitude and frequency in the specimen surface,
or across some region where a crack is expected to develop this is an established technique covered by the
ASTM 647 standard. Very high sensitivity and accuracy is possible because the frequency of operation may
be chosen to suit the electrical properties of the particular metal or alloy under investigation. This induces a
pronounced skin-effect enhancement of the A.C.P.D. signal level.
