Pressure test kit PileSense™

compressionpositiondeflection

Product overview
PileSense™ wireless static pile load test kit measures pile deflection under controlled load conditions using Bluetooth dial indicators (BlueDials) together with a Bluetooth pressure sensor (BluePSI) or wireless load gages. Multiple BlueDials (up to 6 on an iPad, more on a Windows PC) attach to the pile to record movement during load application and removal. The pressure sensor mounts to a hydraulic pump or a wireless force gauge can be used. All wireless gages stream synchronized readings in real time to an iPad app or Windows MultiGage software.

Key capabilities

• Simultaneous wireless measurement of pile deflection and applied load
• Real-time synchronized readings from multiple gauge types
• Cross-platform support: dedicated iPad app and MultiGage for Windows
• Optional cloud connectivity for remote monitoring, alerts and data history

Included

• Bluetooth Dial Indicator (BlueDial) – up to 6 units
• Bluetooth Pressure Sensor (BluePSI)
• USB charging cable and USB power adapter
• Protective carrying case
• iPad Pile Load Test app (provided)
• Optional: iPad Mini 5 with protective case
• Optional: Extended warranty

Software

• iOS: Pile Load Test app for pairing wireless dial indicators and load gages, recording tests, and using custom test templates
• Windows: MultiGage Windows software plus USB Bluetooth dongle to stream readings from multiple devices to any Windows PC (Win7 or later)
• MultiGage Cloud: IoT platform to connect Bluetooth sensors to the Internet for remote real-time monitoring, historical data, dashboards, alerts and analytics

Applications and benefits

• Wireless pile load testing solution to increase on-site efficiency and safety by eliminating wired connections
• Simultaneous recording from multiple deflection and load sensors for comprehensive test documentation
• Cross-platform and cloud-capable workflow so teams can view live data locally or remotely and generate test reports
