1、Designation: E1930/E1930M 12E1930/E1930M 17Standard Practice forExamination of Liquid-Filled Atmospheric and Low-PressureMetal Storage Tanks Using Acoustic Emission1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1930/E1930M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof

2、 original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers guidelines for acoustic emission (AE

3、) examinations of new and in-service aboveground storage tanksof the type used for storage of liquids.1.2 This practice will detect acoustic emission in areas of sensor coverage that are stressed during the course of the examination.For flat-bottom tanks these areas will generally include the sidewa

4、lls (and roof if pressure is applied above the liquid level). Theexamination may not detect flaws on the bottom of flat-bottom tanks unless sensors are located on the bottom.1.3 This practice may require that the tank experience a load that is greater than that encountered in normal use. The normalc

5、ontents of the tank can usually be used for applying this load.1.4 This practice is not valid for tanks that will be operated at a pressure greater than the examination pressure.1.5 It is not necessary to drain or clean the tank before performing this examination.1.6 This practice applies to tanks m

6、ade of carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and other metals.1.7 This practice may also detect defects in tank linings (for example, high-bulk, phenolics and other brittle materials).1.8 AE measurements are used to detect and localize emission sources. Other NDT methods may be used to confirm the

7、 natureand significance of the AE indications (s). Procedures for other NDT techniques are beyond the scope of this practice.1.9 Examination liquid must be above its freezing temperature and below its boiling temperature.1.10 Superimposed internal or external pressures must not exceed design pressur

8、e.1.11 Leaks may be found during the course of this examination but their detection is not the intention of this practice.1.12 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each s

9、ystem shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standards.1.13 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to es

Sensitivity within the 100 -to 200 kHz range shall not vary more than3 dB within the temperature range of intended use.A1.1.3 Sensors shall be shielded against electromagnetic interference through proper design practice or differential (anti-coincidenc

Couplant selection should be made to minimize changes in coupling sensitivity during an examination.Consideration should be given to the time duration of the examination and to the surface temperature of the tank.E1930/E1930M 1710A1.4 PreamplifierA

SENSOR LOCATION GUIDELINESX1.1 General Acommon approach is used to select sensor locations regardless of the size or shape of the tanks examined. Thefirst s

35、tep is to determine the maximum distance between sensors using the techniques described in 10.8.5. Once the maximumspacing has been determined, sensors can be spaced accordingly in rings around the circumference of the tank shell. The first ringwill generally start at or near the bottom of the shell

36、.Additional rings will be added up the sidewall. The vertical distance betweenrings should also be determined on the basis of 10.8.5. The following guidelines should also be considered:X1.1.1 Sensor positions in alternate rings should be staggered. A staggered arrangement provides maximum coverage o

37、f the shellplate sections and is particularly helpful in minimizing the number of AE channels necessary to cover very large tanks.X1.1.2 When possible, additional sensors should be placed near large diameter openings such as manways. When reinforcing padsare present and a zone location technique is

38、used, it is advisable to tee at least two sensors together, placing one on the pad andone on the opposite side of the manway on the tank shell.X1.1.3 For vented storage tanks which cannot fill up into the roof and are not otherwise pressurized above the liquid, it may notbe necessary to place sensor

39、s on the roof. AE will not detect defects in locations which are not stressed during the course of theexamination. Flat roofs on non-pressurized storage tanks normally will not be stressed during AE examination.X2. EXAMPLE INSTRUMENT SETTINGS AND REJECTION CRITERIAX2.1 Acceptance Criteria:X2.1.1 Sig

40、nal strengths (that is, of signals from AE sources) shall not increase with increasing load.X2.1.2 Activity shall not increase with increasing load.X2.1.3 Evaluation Threshold shall be 50 dB (where 0 dB equals one microvolt at the preamplifier input).X2.1.4 Any flaw which is detected must be precise

41、ly located; and, flaw dimensions must be determined using secondary NDTmethod (for example, ultrasonic inspection).X2.1.5 Flaws that are large enough to be “fracture critical flaws”, or that are large enough to grow to fracture critical size beforeanother re-examination is performed, shall cause a t

42、ank to be repaired or removed from service.X2.1.5.1 “Fracture critical” flaw dimensions are based upon fracture mechanics analysis of a vessel using strength propertieswhich correspond to materials of construction.X2.2 Material of ConstructionThis example is based on tanks made from carbon steel.X2.
