4.2. Temperature Correction
The Model CGEO-CR Vibrating Wire Crackmeters have a very small coefficient of thermal
expansion so in many cases correction is not necessary. However, if maximum accuracy is desired
or the temperature changes are extreme (>10° C) corrections may be applied. The temperature
coefficient of the mass or member to which the Crackmeter is attached should also be taken into
account. By correcting the transducer for temperature changes the temperature coefficient of the
mass or member may be distinguished. The following equation applies;
