The PET (Pile Integrity Test) device is designed to perform fast, reliable, and accurate Pile Integrity Tests (PIT) in pile foundation projects. Operating with the Impact-Echo Method (PEM), this device is an ideal solution for low-strain pile testing in the field. PET is fully compliant with ASTM D5882, providing critical information about the length and shape of piles, contributing to the structural safety of projects. It also complies with additional industry standards such as AFNOR P160-2,4, ensuring its reliable use in international projects.
The PIT test begins with a light tap on the pile head using a handheld hammer. The reflected waves generated during this impact are detected and analyzed by PET’s digital accelerometer. Using this method, the pile’s:
•Length
•Integrity
•Shape defects
can be easily determined, saving time and providing precise results for projects.
The PET device can operate on various platforms:
•USB connection with a Windows portable PC
•Bluetooth connection with Android smartphones and tablets
This flexibility ensures convenient field usage and efficient data transfer.
The PET package includes software versions for both PC and Android platforms. With these software tools:
•Real-time analysis can be performed.
•Detailed reports can be generated.
•Data sharing becomes more accessible.
The PET (Pile Echo Tester) is an excellent solution for measuring and evaluating the structural integrity of pile foundations, offering low-cost, fast, and accurate testing capabilities. As one of the best devices for pile integrity testing, PILE TEST PET delivers reliable results and efficient processes for projects.
