17、us service.Usually 125 % of the filling pressure is an acceptable AEexamination pressure. (Normally, gas is heated when com-pressed during the filling process; hence, tanks are filled tomore than rated service pressure). After filling, pressure shouldsettle to rated service pressure as gas temperatu

18、re within thetank becomes equal to ambient temperature.3.2.2 detectability distance, nthe maximum distance froma sensor at which a defined simulated AE source can bedetected by the instrumentation with defined settings and usingappropriate pressurization medium.4. Summary of Practice4.1 AE sensors a

19、re mounted on a vessel and emission ismonitored while the vessel is pressurized to the “AE exami-nation pressure.”4.2 This practice provides guidelines for the detection ofAEfrom structural flaws in the composite overwrap in gas-filled,filament-wound composite pressure vessels. Damage mecha-nisms wh

20、ich produceAE include: resin cracking, fiber debond-ing, fiber pullout, fiber breakage, delamination and bondfailure. Flaws in liner portions of a vessel may not be detected.4.3 This practice and others found inASTM,ASME,ASNT,SPI relate Acoustic Emission to applied load on the compositematerial. At

21、relatively low load (safe operating conditions) theacoustic emission from the composite material is low. Athigher loads (unsafe operating conditions) the slope of the AEversus load curve changes drastically. In some cases thisphenomenon can be identified and quantified by a single AEparameter (that

22、is, AE counts).4.4 Structurally insignificant flaws or processes (for ex-ample, leaks) may produce emission.4.5 This practice is convenient for periodic examination ofvessels in-service.4.6 Gas-filled filament-wound pressure vessels which ex-hibit unacceptable levels of AE should be examined by othe

23、rmethods; for example, visual, ultrasound, dye penetrant, etc.,and may be repaired and re-examined in accordance withgovernment regulations and manufacturers guidelines. Repairand repair examination procedures are outside the scope of thispractice.4.7 Any number of pressure vessels may be examinedsi

24、multaneously as long as the appropriate number of sensorsand instrumentation channels are used.5. Significance and Use5.1 Due to safety considerations, the Compressed GasAssociation (CGA) and others have produced guidelines whichaddress in-service inspection of NGV fuel containers (see2.2-2.4). AE e

25、xamination is listed as an alternative to theminimum three-year visual examination which generally re-quires that the container be removed from the vehicle to exposethe entire container surface. The AE method allows “in-situ”examination of the container.5.1.1 Slow-fill pressurization must proceed at

26、 flow rates thatdo not produce background noise from flow of the pressurizingmedium. Acoustic emission data are recorded throughout apressurization range (that is, 50 % to 100 % ofAE examinationpressure).5.1.2 Fast-fill pressurization can be used if hold periods areprovided. Acoustic emission data a

27、re recorded only during thehold periods.NOTE 1Fast-fill pressurization is less appropriate for carbon (orgraphite) composites due to the lower sensitivity of carbon fibers to stressrupture compared to other fibers.5.1.3 Background noise above the threshold will contami-nate the AE data and render th

28、em useless. Users must be awareof the following common causes of background noise: high fillrate (measurable flow noise); mechanical contact with thevessel by objects; electromagnetic interference (EMI) andradio frequency interference (RFI) from nearby broadcastingfacilities and from other sources;

29、leaks at pipe or hoseconnections and airborne particles, insects, rain and snow. Thispractice should not be used if background noise cannot beeliminated or controlled.5.2 Sensitivity is influenced by factors that affect elasticwave propagation, sensor coupling and signal processor set-tings.5.3 It i

30、s possible to measure AE from AE sources thatcannot be verified by other NDE methods.6.

Th

32、e practice or standard used and itsapplicable revision shall be identified in the contractual agree-ment between the using parties.6.3 Qualification of Nondestructive Test AgenciesIf speci-fied in the contractual agreement, NDT agencies shall bequalified and evaluated as described in Practice E543.

34、ordance withSection 11 unless otherwise specified.6.6 Personnel Training/Test RequirementsNDE personnel(examiner) shall be familiar with CGA Pamphlet C6 and shallhave attended a training course and passed a written test whichcover the following topics.6.6.1 Basic technology of acoustic emission.6.6.

Apparatus7.1 Essential features of the apparatus re

36、quired for thisstandard are shown in Fig. 1. Specifications are provided inAnnex A1.7.2 Couplant must be used to acoustically couple sensors tothe vessel surface. Adhesives that have acceptable acousticproperties and traditional couplants are acceptable.7.3 Sensors may be held in place with elastic

37、straps,adhesive tape, or other mechanical means.7.4 On small vessels (that is, where 100 % coverage can beachieved with two sensors) the sensor locations on the vesselwall will be determined by accessibility. Ideally they should beplaced 180 apart at opposite ends of the container on theshoulders.7.

38、5 On larger vessels (that is, where two sensors cannotprovide 100 % coverage) sensors are positioned on the vesselwall so as to provide complete coverage. Sensor spacings aregoverned by the attenuation of the material. If attenuationcharacteristics are not available from previous examinations ofsimi

39、lar vessels follow the directions found below.7.5.1 Attenuation CharacterizationTypical signal propa-gation losses shall be determined in accordance with thefollowing procedure. This procedure provides a relative mea-sure of the attenuation but may not be representative of agenuine AE source. It sho

40、uld be noted that peak amplitudecaused by a mechanical pencil lead break may vary withsurface hardness, resin condition and cure. Select a represen-tative region of the vessel with clear access along the cylin-drical section. Mount an AE sensor and mark off 15-cm 6-in.intervals from the center of th

41、e sensor along a line parallel tothe principal direction of the surface fiber. Select additionalpoints on the surface of the vessel at 15-cm 6-in. intervalsalong lines angled 45 and 90, respectively, to the principaldirection of the surface fiber. Break pencil leads (see GuideE976) and record peak a

42、mplitude.All lead breaks shall be doneat an angle of approximately 30 to the surface with a 2.5-mm0.1-in. lead extension. The attenuation data shall be retainedas part of the test report.7.5.2 Record the distances from the center of the sensor tothe points where hits are no longer detected. Repeat t

43、hisprocedure along lines angled 45 and 90 to the direction of theoriginal line. The data shall be retained as part of the testreport. The minimum distance from the sensor at which thepencil lead break can no longer be detected is known as thedetectability distance; this distance shall be recorded.NO

44、TE 2Detectability distance may be reduced to achieve greatersensitivity to sources at farther distance.7.5.3 Sensor spacing (distance between adjacent sensors)shall not be greater than 1.5 times the detectability distance.7.6 AE sensors are used to detect stress waves produced byflaws. Sensors must

45、be held in contact with the vessel wall toensure adequate acoustic coupling.7.7 A preamplifier may be enclosed in the sensor housing orin a separate enclosure. If a separate preamplifier is used, cablelength, between sensor and preamplifier, must not result in asignal loss of greater than 3 dB (typi

46、cally2m6ftisacceptable).7.8 Power/signal cable length (that is, cable between pream-plifier and signal processor) shall not result in a signal loss ofgreater than 3 dB (typically 150 m 500 ft is acceptable).7.9 Signal processors are computerized instruments withindependent channels that filter, meas

47、ure and convert analoginformation into digital form for display and permanent stor-age.Asignal processor must have sufficient speed and capacityto independently process data from all sensors simultaneously.The signal processor should provide capability to filter data forreplay.FIG. 1 Essential Featu
