4 Personnel qualification
AT personnel shall be qualified and certified in accordance with EN ISO 9712 level 2 at minimum.
Personnel shall hold an appropriate certificate of competence (operating authorization according to
EN ISO 9712), e.g. personnel certification on AT level 2 or 3 as appropriate (see EN 13445-5:2014,
6.6.3.7).
NOTE For pressure equipment, see Directive 2014/68/EU, Annex 3.1.3: “For pressure equipment in
categories III and IV, the personnel must be approved by a third party organization recognized by a Member
State”.
5 Basis of AT on pressure equipment
The AE methodology is described in EN 13554.
The main target of the AT of pressure equipment is to detect acoustic emission sources caused by
phenomena generated by the applied load to the equipment:
— local plastic deformation;
— crack initiation;
— subcritical crack growth;
— surface rubbing in existing cracks;
— corrosion;
— leakage;
— etc.
AT can monitor evolution of AE sources respective to the equipment loading. In general, the detection of
AE sources is not restricted by the size of the evolving imperfection.
The properties and structural state of the material, the magnitude of the applied pressure, pressure
sequence and pressure rate are significant factors affecting the generation of AE.
After determination of wave propagation conditions, maximum allowed sensor spacing for location of
AE sources shall be determined according to EN 14584.
The influence of test fluid inside the pressure equipment on the different parameters of wave
propagation (e.g. wave attenuation, wave velocity, wave paths) shall be considered.
Grading of located AE sources is based on the evolution of their AE activity, AE intensity and other
parameters according to EN 14584:2013, Clause 8.
6 Instrumentation
6.1 Generality
The AE instrumentation shall be in line with EN 13477-1 and EN 13477-2.
6.2 Sensors
The most commonly used sensors are resonant in-frequency range from 100 kHz to 300 kHz. Lower
frequency monitoring allows detection at greater distances and high frequency monitoring provides
improved rejection of external noise. Selection of frequency range may optimize location accuracy.
The equipment surface below the sensors shall be cleaned to ensure the maximum coupling efficiency.
The sensor coupling shall be as specified in the written test instruction. The sensors may be mainly
directly attached to the structure using magnetic devices or an adhesive, or by using wave guides (e.g.
high/low temperature, mounded equipment).
The effectiveness and reliability of the acoustic coupling shall be verified. The characteristics of the type
of the acoustic coupling agent used shall not affect the structure adversely.
In case of specific requirement (hazardous zones), intrinsically safe sensors and inst
