Acoustic Emission Testing (AET)
- Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) monitoring is an effective tool for prioritizing more conventional nondestructive inspections of above ground tanks, either process or storage vessels
- Results obtained from AE monitoring may be assessed against an existing data bank permitting plant management to prioritize maintenance to tanks with high active corrosion rates or leaks.
- AE results may be used to extend inspection periods of tanks without leaks or active corrosion.
