Ensuring Vessel Integrity with Acoustic Emission Testing: A powerful tool for detecting defects, acoustic emission testing saves time and expense because there is no need to enter a vessel to inspect it

摘要

The process industry involves storage and processing of many hazardous materials. Failure of this equipment can potentially result in catastrophic consequences. With increasing regulatory requirements and continued use of aging equipment, there is more emphasis being placed on the reliability of this equipment. Acoustic emission testing is playing an increasingly important role in the monitoring of this equipment.
