BS EN 17391:2022

This standard BS EN 17391:2022 Non-destructive testing. Acoustic emission testing. In-service acoustic emission monitoring of metallic pressure equipment and structures. General requirements is classified in these ICS categories:

• 19.100 Non-destructive testing

This document specifies general requirements for in-service acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. It relates to detection, location and grading of AE sources with application to metallic pressure equipment and other structures such as bridges, bridge ropes, cranes, storage tanks, pipelines, wind turbine towers, marine applications, offshore structures. The monitoring can be periodic, temporary or continuous, on site or remote-controlled, supervised or automated. The objectives of AE monitoring are to define regions which are acoustically active as a result of damage or defect evolution.
