Summary of Practice4.1 This practice consists of subjecting RTRP to increasingor cyclic pressure while monitoring with sensors that aresensitive to acoustic emission (transient stress waves) causedby growing flaws. Where appropriate, other types of loadingmay be superposed

21、or may replace the pressure load, forexample, thermal, bending, tensile, etc. The instrumentationand techniques for sensing and analyzing AE data are de-scribed.4.2 This practice provides guidelines to determine the loca-tion and severity of structural flaws in RTRP.4.3 This practice provides guidel

22、ines forAE examination ofRTRP within the pressure range stated in 1.2. Maximum testpressure for RTRP will be determined upon agreement amonguser, manufacturer, or test agency, or combination thereof. Thetest pressure will normally be 1.1 multiplied by the maximumoperating pressure.5. Significance an

23、d Use5.1 The AE examination method detects damage in RTRP.The damage mechanisms detected in RTRP are as follows:resin cracking, fiber debonding, fiber pullout, fiber breakage,delamination, and bond or thread failure in assembled joints.Flaws in unstressed areas and flaws which are structurallyinsign

24、ificant will not generate AE.5.2 This practice is convenient for on-line use under oper-ating conditions to determine structural integrity of in-serviceRTRP usually with minimal process disruption.5.3 Flaws located with AE should be examined by othertechniques; for example, visual, ultrasound, and d

25、ye penetrant,and may be repaired and retested as appropriate. Repairprocedure recommendations are outside the scope of thispractice.6. Basis of Application6.1 The following items are subject to contractual agree-ment between the parties using or referencing this practice.6.2 Personnel Qualification6

29、amination shallbe in accordance with 9.4 unless otherwise specified.6.6 Reporting Criteria/Acceptance CriteriaReporting cri-teria for the examination results shall be in accordance with 12unless otherwise specified. Since acceptance criteria are notspecified in this standard, they shall be specified

30、 in thecontractual agreement.6.7 Reexamination of Repaired/Reworked ItemsReexamination of repaired/reworked items is not addressed inthis standard and if required shall be specified in the contrac-tual agreement.7. Instrumentation7.1 The AE instrumentation consists of sensors, signalprocessors, and

31、recording equipment. Additional informationon AE instrumentation can be found in Practice E 750.7.2 Instrumentation shall be capable of recordingAE countsand AE events above the low-amplitude threshold. It shall alsorecord events above the high-amplitude threshold as well assignal value M within spe

32、cific frequency ranges, and havesufficient channels to localize AE sources in real time. It mayincorporate (as an option) peak amplitude detection. An AEevent amplitude measurement is recommended for sensitivityverification (see Annex A2). Amplitude distributions are rec-ommended for flaw characteri

33、zation. It is preferred that theAEinstrumentation acquire and record count, event, amplitude,and signal value M information on a per channel basis. TheAEinstrumentation is further described in Annex A1.7.3 Capability for measuring parameters such as time andpressure shall be provided. The pressure-l

34、oad shall be continu-ously monitored to an accuracy of 62 % of the maximum testvalue.E11180528. Test Preparations8.1 Safety PrecautionsAll plant safety requirementsunique to the test location shall be met.8.1.1 Protective clothing and equipment that is normallyrequired in the area in which the test

35、is being conducted shallbe worn.8.1.2 A fire permit may be needed to use the electronicinstrumentation.8.1.3 Precautions shall be taken against the consequences ofcatastrophic failure when testing, for example, flying debrisand impact of escaping liquid.8.1.4 Pneumatic testing is extremely dangerous

36、 and shall beavoided if at all possible.8.2 RTRP Conditioning:8.2.1 If the pipe has not been previously loaded, no condi-tioning is required.8.2.2 If the pipe has been previously loaded, one of twomethods shall be used. For both methods, the maximumoperating pressure-load in the pipe since the previ

37、ous exami-nation must be known. If more than one year has elapsed sincethe last examination, the maximum operating pressure-loadduring the past year can be used. (See 11.2.3.)8.2.2.1 Option I requires that the test shall be run from 90 upto 110 % of the maximum operating pressure-load. In this casen

38、o conditioning is required. (See Fig. 7.) If it is not possible toachieve over 100 % of the maximum operating pressure-load,Option II may be used.8.2.2.2 Option II requires that the operating pressure-loadbe reduced prior to testing in accordance with the scheduleshown in Table 1. In this case, the

39、maximum pressure-loadneed be only 100 % of the operating pressure (see Fig. 8).8.3 RTRP Pressurizing-LoadingArrangements should bemade to pressurize the RTRP to the appropriate pressure-load.Liquid is the preferred pressurizing medium. Holding pressure-load levels is a key aspect of an acoustic emis

40、sion examination.Accordingly, provision shall be made for holding the pressure-load at designated check points.8.4 RTRP SupportThe RTRP system shall be properlysupported.8.5 EnvironmentalThe normal minimum acceptableRTRP wall temperature is 4C (40F).8.6 Noise ReductionNoise sources in the examinatio

41、nfrequency and amplitude range, such as malfunctioning pumpsor valves, movement of pipe on supports, or rain, must beminimized since they mask the AE signals emanating from thepipe.8.7 Power SupplyA stable grounded power supply, meet-ing the specification of the instrumentation, is required at thete

42、st site.8.8 Instrumentation SettingsSettings will be determinedin accordance with Annex A2.9. Sensors9.1 Sensor MountingRefer to Guide E 650 for additionalinformation on sensor mounting. Location and spacing of thesensors are discussed in 9.4. Sensors shall be placed in thedesignated locations with

43、a couplant interface between sensorand test article. One recommended couplant is silicone-stopcock grease. Care must be exercised to ensure that ad-equate couplant is applied. Sensors shall be held in placeutilizing methods of attachment which do not create extraneoussignals. Methods of attachment u

44、sing strips of pressure-sensitive tape, stretch fabric tape with hook and loop fastener,or suitable adhesive systems may be considered. Suitableadhesive systems are those whose bonding and acousticcoupling effectiveness have been demonstrated. The attach-ment method should provide support for the si

45、gnal cable (andpreamplifier) to prevent the cable(s) from stressing the sensoror causing loss of coupling.9.2 Surface ContactReliable coupling between the sensorand pipe surface shall be ensured and the surface of the pipe incontact with the sensor shall be clean and free of particulatematter. Senso

46、rs should be mounted directly on the RTRPsurface unless integral waveguides shown by test to besatisfactory are used. Preparation of the contact surface shall becompatible with both sensor and structure modification re-quirements. Possible causes of signal loss are coatings such aspaint and encapsul

47、ants, inadequate sensor contact on curvedsurfaces, off-center sensor positioning and surface roughness atthe contact area.9.3 Zone LocationSeveral high-frequency sensors (100 to250 kHz) are used for zone location of emission sources.Attenuation is greater at higher frequencies requiring closerspacin

48、g of sensors. Zones may be refined if events hit morethan one sensor. (See Fig. 1 and Annex A3.)9.4 Locations and SpacingsSensor locations on the RTRPare determined by the need to detect structural flaws at criticalsections, for example, joints, high-stress areas, geometricdiscontinuities, repaired

49、regions, and visible defects. Thenumber of sensors and their location is based on whether fullcoverage or random sampling of the system is desired. For fullNOTE 1A maximum of three sensors can be connected into one channel.FIG. 1 Typical Sensor Positioning for Zone LocationE1118053coverage of the RTRP, excluding joints, sensor spacings of 3 m(10 ft) are usually suitable.9.4.1 Attenuation CharacterizationSignal propagationlosses shall be determined in accordance with the followingprocedure. This procedure provides a relative measure of theattenuation,
