Synopsis

Acoustic emission monitoring is a powerful tool for checking structural integrity which tells you about the dynamic behaviour of defects. The authors of this useful guide back their claims for acoustic emission monitoring with details of its use on equipment made from metals and glass-reinforced plastic. They explain the methodology, including Monsanto's established MONPAC procedure and they include results of a questionnaire sent to 92 organisations which use the technique. There are appendices on the use of the technique, international codes and standards plus a bibliography.

About this title

Synopsis

Acoustic emission testing can be a very convenient way of checking a vessel for invisible structural faults; in certain cases it is not even necessary to take the vessel out of service to test it. However, for some applications this method is neither as easy nor as cost-effective as it may seem. This book sets out to help in deciding whether acoustic emission testing is the right method for a particular problem. This is a revision of the 1985 text.
