PET is an instrument for testing deep foundation piles
PET Uses the pulse-echo method (PEM, PIT) for pile testing. The pile is struck with a hand held hammer and the PET digital accelerometer records the reflected waves on the computer screen. The resulting signal (reflectogram) readily provides information regarding the piles length and integrity.
This is the primary method used in the industry for for quick quality control of a large number of piles.
Two PET versions are available: PT001 - USB PET and PT002 Bluetooth PET.
Applicable standards: ASTM D5882-08
