Acoustic Emission Testing (AET)
Real-time, non-invasive monitoring of structural integrity through high-frequency sound wave detection.
Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) detects high-frequency sound waves generated by structural changes, such as cracking or corrosion. This non-invasive technique allows for real-time monitoring of tank and vessel integrity, ensuring early detection of potential failures and enhancing overall safety.
AET is particularly valuable for in-service inspection of pressure vessels, storage tanks, and pipeline components, where it can pinpoint active defect growth under operating loads — enabling condition-based assessment without taking the asset out of service.
