A1.3 Saximeter<br />
The Saximeter is a hand-held unit that uses<br />
sound recognition to automatically detect hammer<br />
blows. It determines the hammer operating rate<br />
in blows per minute. This is an important quality<br />
assurance parameter, since an excessive stroke<br />
can cause pile damage. Since hammers are<br />
often rated by energy, it is important to observe<br />
the actual available stroke or potential energy<br />
(stroke times ram weight).<br />
The current saximeter versions are called<br />
E-Saximeter which stands for energy ...<br />
The E-Saximeter “A” version is the further<br />
development of the Memory Saximeter. “A” stands<br />
for “audio”. The saximeter works with sound<br />
recognition only. Automatically recording and<br />
processing information in MEMORY, enables the<br />
user to create driving logs quickly, professionally,<br />
and free from recopying errors. The data transfer<br />
can run directly in your office computer using an<br />
additional 9-pin cable.<br />
The E-Saximeter “P” version has an additional<br />
option of computing hammer kinetic energy. This<br />
important parameter is calculated from measured<br />
hammer impact velocity. The “P” stands for<br />
“proximity” switches. Measurements are obtained<br />
by hammer mounted sensors that transmit data to<br />
the E-Saximeter.<br />
Typical driving log created<br />
with the E-saximeter in some<br />
cases required for pile driving<br />
