1、Designation:E193212(Reapproved 2017)Standard Guide forAcoustic Emission Examination of Small Parts1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1932;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers techniques for conducting acousticemission(AE)examinations of small parts.It is confined toexamination objects(or defined
3、 regions of larger objects)where there is low AE signal attenuation throughout theexamination region.This eliminates the consideration of com-plex attenuation factor corrections and multiple sensor andarray placements based on overcoming signal losses overdistances.1.2 The guide assumes a typical AE
4、 examination as onewhere there is a controlled or measured stress acting upon thepart being monitored by AE.Particular emphasis is placed onsensor and system selection,sensor placements,stressingconsiderations,noise reduction/rejection techniques,spatialfiltering,location determination,use of guard
5、sensors,collec-tion of AE data,AE data analysis and report.The purpose ofthe AE examination is to analyze how an object underevaluation is withstanding the applied load.1.3 Possible applications of this guide includes materialscharacterization,quality control of production processes,prooftesting aft
6、er fabrication,evaluating regions of interest of largerstructures and retesting after intervals of service.The appliedload may include mechanical forces(tension,compression ortorsional)internal pressure and thermal gradients.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if
7、any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized
