What is a Pile Integrity Tester (PIT)?

A pile integrity tester (PIT) is a non-destructive testing tool used in low strain pile testing to assess pile quality, length, and structural integrity. The PET system by Piletest is one of the most advanced and user-friendly PIT testing solutions, providing real-time data analysis and high-speed testing capabilities.

The PET is ideal for:

  • Ensuring pile quality and detecting potential defects
  • Verifying as-built pile length & continuity
  • Assessing deep foundation integrity quickly & accurately
  • Meeting global compliance standards for PIT testing

Whether you’re conducting a single PIT test or assessing hundreds of piles per site, the PET pile integrity test equipment offers a cost-effective, efficient, and highly accurate solution for your foundation testing needs.

How Does a PIT Test Work?

The Pile Integrity Test (PIT) is a low strain dynamic test that determines pile continuity, length, and defects by analyzing stress wave reflections. The PET system employs the Pulse Echo Method (PEM), ensuring accurate and real-time pile testing results.

Step-by-Step Process for Conducting a PIT Test:

  1. Attach the Digital Accelerometer – The PET’s high-sensitivity sensor is placed on the pile head with some putty.
  2. Strike the Pile with a Handheld Hammer – A light hammer impact generates a stress wave that travels through the pile.
  3. Analyze the Reflected Waveform (Reflectogram) – The PET system captures & interprets the wave reflections from the pile to determine pile length & integrity.
  4. Generate an Instant PIT Test Report – Engineers can review data on-site with PET’s advanced software for immediate decision-making, easily editing it on MS WORD.

Understanding Reflectograms with Pilewave Simulator:


The PET’s Pilewave software allows engineers to simulate, analyze, and interpret reflectograms, making it easier to detect pile defects, discontinuities, and anomalies.

  • Long Battery Life – Bluetooth model runs up to 500 piles on just 2 AAA batteries, which can be easily replaced on site.

Why PET is Better than Other Pile Integrity Testers

Unlike other pile integrity test equipment, the PET system offers:

  • Faster Data Collection – Test 2× more piles per hour than traditional PIT devices.
  • Higher Signal Accuracy – Low-noise sensors capture clear reflectograms for detailed analysis.
  • Wireless Flexibility – Bluetooth-enabled PIT testing for mobile field operations on Windows or Android computers.
  • No Hidden Costs – One-time purchase, unlimited software licenses, & free updates.
  • 3-Year Standard Hardware Warranty (Industry Best)
  • Complementary Second Opinion Support (SOS) service on reports
