A number of exogen factors are known to be involved in polygonal cracking, the most prominent of which are climate-related (Johnson, 1927; Campbell, 1995), such as the weathering induced by insolation and chemical agents, rupture due to expansion of the shell or outer-most surface of the rock (Sosman, 1916; Schulke, 1973; Bradley et al.

Characteristics of the ODAC 33TRIO are said to include three synchronized measurement axes on one single plane; reliable detection of out-of-round condition, regardless of the orientation of the product ovality; detection of any deviation from roundness of oval and out-of-round with polygonal shape (multi-lobe); yields highly accurate mean value, regardless of the orientation of the product ovality; computerization of accurate values of circumference and cross section; etc.
