IDS-1 Pile Testing Device

Applications

Measuring the pile length;

Localizing pile defects (e.g. cross-section deformations and cracks);

Might be used as a dual-channel high frequency seismic station;

Might be used as a sonar.

Pile Length Measuring Method

The method is based on measuring the response time for the signal reflected from the other end of the pile or from obstacles inside the pile that emerge due to its inhomogeneity. The length is calculated based on the known speed of primary wave for various types of piles and measured response time. The source of primary waves is a special hammer; the seismic pick up serves as a pick up of elastic vibration.

The IDS-1 set includes:

Electronic module;

Seismic pick ups;

Charger;

Set of cables;

Set of documentation;

Transportation bag.

Software

Вuilt-in software allows for quick pile length measuring and detection of pile defects. Settings parameters allow for a wide variety of measurements in various environments (piles of different length, different types of soils, external disturbance). The unit file system allows for recording, erasing and viewing up to 2000 files with the measured data. Built-in memory with capacity up to 128 MB.
br> External software compatible with Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP allows for copying files to PC, further data processing, and printing out reports. Standard Ethernet and RS-232 based interface to facilitate data exchange with PC.
