BS EN 15856:2010EN 15856:2010 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes acoustic

17、 emission testing (AT) on metallic surroundings filled with liquids for the detection of corrosion processes that are active at the time of the test. It is applicable to metallic storage tanks, such as those used in the chemical and petrochemical industry. The results provide a qualitative statement

18、 regarding the condition of the test object and a recommendation regarding the maximum allowable duration of the follow-on service period, based on the AT indications and additional information in order to characterize the AT indications. In the case of flat bottomed storage tanks (FBST) the procedu

19、re described within this standard provides testing of the complete bottom, the tank shell up to the filling height and in case of a floating roof tank also the roof sheets in contact with the stored liquid. As for every application of acoustic emission testing, the measured data contain information

20、regarding active sources. An ongoing corrosion process, such as general corrosion and localized corrosion defined in EN ISO 8044, leading to progressive loss of wall thickness will be detected. A corrosion process which has stopped does not produce acoustic emission and will therefore not be detecte

21、d at the time of test. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

BS EN 15856:2010EN 15856:2010 (E) 5 4 Personnel qualifications It is assumed that acoustic emission testing is perf

26、ormed by qualified and capable personnel. In order to prove this qualification, it is recommended to certify the personnel in accordance with EN 473. 5 General 5.1 Introduction Evaluation of the AE data shall be done according to an established grading system, providing grades relating to the rate o

27、f degradation of the component under test as a result of corrosion. The recommended duration of the service period following the test is with respect to the service condition prior to and at the time of the test. This recommendation is invalid, if the storage product or any other major service param

28、eter has been altered. The final test result shall not be affected by external or internal noise sources. The testing service provider has to communicate the demands regarding tank preparation to the tank operator. Proper support by the plant personnel for identification and elimination of noise sou

29、rces shall be ensured. 5.2 Test preparation AE originating from corrosion propagates through both the liquid and the structure. Where corrosion testing of tanks utilises wave propagation through the liquid stock product, the minimum filling level of the tank to be tested shall exceed the highest pos

30、ition of sensors mounted onto the tank shell at least by 1 m. When testing flat bottomed storage tanks (FBST) the tank operation shall be static before the test in order to reduce internal noise to a minimum. No product shall be fed into or taken out of the tank, no internal circulation shall take p

31、lace and, if operated, the heater shall be shut down. The necessary time period varies depending on the tank size and the stock product. Twenty-four hours is usually sufficient. 5.3 Sensors When wave propagation through the liquid is used, the sensor frequency band is usually in the range from 20 kH

32、z to 80 kHz. When wave propagation through the metal is used, the sensing frequency band is usually in the range from 100 kHz to 300 kHz. The equipment surface below the sensors shall be prepared to ensure the maximum coupling efficiency. The sensor couplant shall be as specified in the written test

33、 instruction. The sensors may be directly attached to the structure using magnetic devices or suitable adhesive. The effectiveness and reliability of the acoustic couplant shall be verified. The characteristics of the type of the acoustic couplant used shall not affect the structure adversely. 5.4 S

34、ource location The location of AE sources is based on delta t measurement. In case of tank floor testing two rows of sensors and wave propagation through the liquid shall be used. When evaluating the floor condition regarding active corrosion, the location error is normally within 10 % of the tank d

35、iameter. The location error is smaller near the centre area and increases as the AE source approaches the annular ring. If the height of first row sensors (see 7.1) is changed as a result of the presence of sludge or internal structure, then the location error increases, especially near to the annul

36、ar ring. BS EN 15856:2010EN 15856:2010 (E) 6 The same principle applies to the evaluation regarding active corrosion of the floating roof. The location error of the roof testing is normally within 15 % of the tank diameter. The error increases when the distance of the second row of sensors from the

37、floating roof increases. Waves propagate through liquid and metal from the source to the sensors and perhaps also on different paths. Therefore the planar location error on the tank shell is normally within 15 % of the sensor spacing. 5.5 Preliminary information The tank operator shall provide infor

38、mation necessary for performing the test. This shall include the following, as relevant and available: a) Customer nominated on-site test co-ordinator; b) Tank information: identification, manufacturer, year of manufacturing, serial number, capacity, shell height, diameter, thermal insulation, stock

39、 product, roof type, bottom type, foundation, internal coating, internal installation, cathodic protection, tank history including NDT and repairs, assembly drawings with sufficient details of the structure; c) AE test information: intended date and expected conditions such as stock product, tempera

40、ture, filling height, sludge level, water bottom; d) Potential external and internal noise interference sources. 5.6 Written instruction requirements The AE test organisation shall provide a written test instruction, which shall include but not necessarily be restricted to the following: a) explicit

41、 indication of the purpose of the test and limitations if any; b) sensor type, frequency and manufacturer; c) method of sensor attachment; d) type of acoustic couplant used; e) type of surface preparation; f) type of AE equipment used with the main characteristics; g) energy measurement method to be

42、 used; h) number of sensors required and the sensor arrangement; i) description of equipment verification procedure; j) description of in-situ verification; k) description of test performance; l) recorded data and recording method; m) available on-line presentation of data; n) cluster parameters (e.

43、g. shape, size, minimum number of located events); o) post-test analysis procedure; BS EN 15856:2010EN 15856:2010 (E) 7 p) final report requirements; q) qualification/certification of the personnel. The test instruction shall be prepared in accordance with EN 473 and EN 13554. 6 Instrumentation An A

44、E system consists of sensors and equipment for signal conditioning and processing and for displaying and recording data according to EN 13477-1. The AE instrument shall be capable of measuring at least the following parameters on every channel: a) AE burst count; b) appropriate parameter indicating

45、the background noise; c) burst signal peak amplitude; d) burst signal duration; e) burst signal rise time; f) burst signal energy; g) arrival time. In addition to the acquired burst signal parameters, waveform data of each detected hit on any available AE channel enables evaluation by signal frequen

46、cy analysis. The test instrumentation shall: h) store all the acquired data; and i) provide an on-line location display for preliminary on-site reporting on the performed test. The AE system performance check (including sensors) shall be performed according to EN 13477-2. 7 Testing 7.1 Sensor positi

47、ons For use of wave propagation through liquid, e.g. testing flat bottomed storage tanks (FBST), the following applies: The number of sensors necessary for a certain tank diameter is derived from the requirement, that the distance between the sensors distributed equally around the circumference shal

48、l not exceed 15 m. Due to the fact that manholes, nozzles, welds and other structural details have to be taken into account when selecting the sensor positions, a reduced maximum distance of 13 m has proven to be applicable. With this value it is possible to shift positions as required by the struct

49、ure and to stay within the limit of 15 m. The number of sensors applied shall not be less than six per row. The distance of a sensor to a weld or a reinforcing plate shall not be less than 200 mm. BS EN 15856:2010EN 15856:2010 (E) 8 The first row of sensors shall be set at a level of approximately 1 m above the bottom. The second row of sensors is usually set at a level of 4 m to 6 m with positions directly above the first row sensors
