Pile Dynamics has a redesigned system for SPT hammer calibration. Both the hardware of the SPT Analyzer and the software used for analysis and reporting of standard penetration tests (SPT) energy measurements have been completely revamped.
In the newest release of the SPT Analyzer, Smart Sensor technology allows the program to read the rod instrumentation, so that sensor calibration and rod cross sectional area are input automatically to the SPT Analyzer. This simplifies the initial test setup considerably. The new model also responds to multi-touch gestures and has numerous color schemes available, making things like adjusting time scale or display to better view data in the field much simpler than previously. A preprogrammed set of output quantities tailored to SPT calibration is presented to the user, who can modify it to fit a particular project need. Data quality checks are available.
