First occurrences of terms defined herein are italicized.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 AE trend numbera number used to designate trends in AE activity which are exhibited by structures during a set ofr

20、epeated loading cycles (see 9.2).3.2.2 Minimum AE activity levelthat level of activity below whichAE trend numbers are not robust indicators of the trend (see9.1)3.2.3 Examination pressurethe highest pressure used while examining a given container. The examination pressure is 1.1times the maximum al

21、lowable working pressure, MAWP (see Section 8).4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice does not rely on absolute quantities of AE parameters. It relies on trends of cumulative AE counts that aremeasured during a specified sequence of loading cycles. This practice includes an example of examination

22、settings and acceptancecriteria as a nonmandatory appendix.4.2 Acoustic emission (AE) counts were used as a measure of AE activity during development of this practice. Cumulative hitduration may be used instead of cumulative counts if a correlation between the two is determined. Several processes ca

23、n occurwithin the structure under examination. Some may indicate unacceptable flaws (for example, growing resin cracks, fiber fracture,delamination). Others may produce AE but have no structural significance (for example, rubbing at interfaces). The methodologydescribed in this practice prevents con

24、tamination of structurally significant data with emission from insignificant sources.4.3 Background NoiseBackground noise can distort interpretations of AE data and can preclude completion of anexamination. Examination personnel should be aware of sources of background noise at the time examinations

25、 are conducted. AEexaminations should not be conducted until such noise is substantially eliminated.4.4 Mechanical Background NoiseMechanical background noise is generally induced by structural contact with the containerunder examination. Examples are: personnel contact, wind borne sand or rain. Als

26、o, leaks at pipe connections may producebackground noise.4.5 Electronic NoiseElectronic noise such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) canbe caused by electric motors, overhead cranes, electrical storms, welders, etc.4.6 Airborne Background NoiseAirborne back

27、ground noise can be produced by gas leaks in nearby equipment.4.7 Accuracy of the results from this practice can be influenced by factors related to setup and calibration of instrumentation,background noise, material properties, and structural characteristics.5.

Apparatus6.1 Recommended features of the apparatus required for this practice are provided in Fig. 1. Full specifications are in Ann

39、exA1.6.2 Couplant must be used to acoustically connect sensors to the vessel surface. Adhesives that have acceptable acousticproperties and adhesives used in combination with traditional couplants are acceptable.6.3 Sensors may be held in place with elastic straps, adhesive tape, or other mechanical

40、 means.FIG. 1 Recommended Features of the ApparatusE1888/E1888M 1736.4 Sensor spacing shall be such that a standard 0.5 mm 0.02 in., 2H pencil lead break (See Guide E976) on any part of a liquidfilled container is detected by at least oneAE sensor.A0.3 mm 0.012 in., 2H pencil lead break may be used

41、which would reducethe sensor spacing. Presence of heads, manholes, and nozzles shall be considered when sensor locations are selected. Fig. 2 showsa typical sensor location scheme for a vessel of 10.8 m 424 in. length and 1.8 m 72 in. diameter.6.4.1 Attenuation CharacterizationTypical signal propaga

42、tion losses shall be determined according to the followingprocedure. This procedure provides a relative measure of the attenuation but may not be representative of a genuine AE source.It should be noted that the peak amplitude from a mechanical pencil lead break may vary with surface hardness, resin

43、 conditionand cure. Select a representative region of the vessel with clear access along the cylindrical section. Mount anAE sensor and markoff distances of 15 cm 6 in. and 30 cm 12 in. from the center of the sensor along a line parallel to the principal direction ofthe surface fiber. Select two add

44、itional points on the surface of the vessel at 15 cm 6 in. and 30 cm 12 in. along a line inclined45 and 90 to the principal direction of the surface fiber, break pencil leads (0.3 mm 0.012 in. 2H, rather then 0.5 mm 0.02 in.to avoid possible saturation due to larger signal output) and record peak am

45、plitude. All lead breaks shall be done at an angle ofapproximately 30 to the surface with a 2.54 mm 0.1 in. lead extension. The attenuation data shall be retained as part of theoriginal experimental record.6.4.2 In addition, record the distances from the center of the sensor to the points where hits

46、 are no longer detected. Repeat thisprocedure along lines inclined 45 and 90 to the direction of the original line. The data shall be retained as part of the originalexperimental record. The minimum distance from the sensor at which the pencil lead break can no longer be detected is knownas the thre

47、shold distance.6.5 Acoustic emission sensors are used to detect strain induced stress waves produced by discontinuities. Sensors must be heldin contact with the vessel wall to ensure adequate acoustic coupling.6.6 A preamplifier may be enclosed in the sensor housing or in a separate enclosure. If a

48、separate preamplifier is used, cablelength between sensor and preamplifier must not exceed 2 m 78 in.6.7 Power/signal cable length (that is, cable between preamplifier and signal processor) shall not exceed 150 m 500 ft.6.8 Signal processors are computerized instruments with independent channels tha

49、t filter, measure and convert analoginformation into digital form for display and permanent storage. A signal processor must have sufficient speed and capacity toindependently process data from all sensors simultaneously. The signal processor should provide capability to filter data for replay.6.9 A video monitor should display processed data in various formats. Display format may be selected by the examiner.6.10 Adata storage device, such as a hard disc or removable media (CD, DVD, or other), device, may be used to provide
