Unfired pressure vessels - Part 501: Acoustic emission for pressure vessels (Swedish Standard)
This document is intended for the application of AT on metallic pressure equipment during controlled loading. Therefore the overall aims of this document are: — to detect, locate and grade areas with evolving imperfections; — to provide the manufacturer the possibility to compare results of the first test with those of subsequent periodic inspections; — to determine the possibilities and limits of AE testing (AT) for pressure equipment; — to establish common basis for procedures to perform AT, taking into account the specific characteristics of the equipment under test; — to define the criteria, features and grades essential for evaluation of test results; — to suggest follow-ups to the test.
