PET: Pile Echo Tester
Overview
The PET (Pile Echo Tester) uses the Pulse-Echo method (PEM) for quick quality control of a large number of piles.
The pile top is struck with a lightweight handheld hammer. The reflected wave is captured and analyzed by the PET's digital accelerometer to provide information regarding the length and shape of the pile. [ Overview of this test method ]
