Real-Time Structural Monitoring with Acoustic Emission Testing (AET)

Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) is a powerful non-destructive technique used to monitor and evaluate the structural integrity of above-ground storage tanks and process vessels. By detecting high-frequency stress waves generated by active flaws such as corrosion or leakage, AET provides real-time insights into the condition of the equipment. This method helps prioritize conventional inspections by identifying tanks with active deterioration. AE monitoring results can be compared with existing data to assess risk levels and guide maintenance planning. It is especially useful in optimizing inspection intervals and focusing attention on high-risk assets. AET enables early detection of potential failures, reducing downtime and enhancing operational safety. This proactive approach supports efficient maintenance and cost-effective asset management.

of Experience

Applications

AET is used to monitor above-ground storage tanks and process vessels in real-time. It detects active flaws like corrosion, leaks, and cracks during normal operation. This makes it ideal for industries like oil & gas, power, and chemicals to effectively guide inspection priorities.

Benefits

AET enables early flaw detection without shutting down equipment. It helps extend inspection intervals for stable assets and reduces unnecessary checks. This results in better maintenance planning, enhanced safety, and overall cost savings.

Proactive Structural Monitoring with Acoustic
Emission Testing (AET)

Arudra’s Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) services offer a real-time, non-destructive solution for monitoring the structural integrity of above-ground storage tanks and process vessels. By capturing high-frequency acoustic signals emitted from active flaws such as corrosion, cracking, or leakage, AET enables early detection of deterioration without interrupting operations. This technique is ideal for in-service monitoring, helping industries prioritize maintenance based on actual asset conditions. AET results can be compared with historical data to extend inspection intervals for stable tanks and focus attention on high-risk areas. With ASNT Level II certified experts and a proven track record in industrial diagnostics, Arudra delivers safe, efficient, and cost-effective inspection solutions.
