1、Designation:F179715Standard Test Method forAcoustic Emission Testing of Insulated and Non-InsulatedDigger Derricks1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1797;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of
2、last revision.A 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 test method covers a procedure for acoustic emis-sion(AE)testing of digger derricks.1.1.1 Equipment CoveredThis test m
3、ethod applies to spe-cial multipurpose vehicle-mounted machines,commonlyknown as digger derricks.These machines are primarilydesigned to dig holes,set poles,and position materials andapparatus.1.1.1.1 Insulated and non-insulated type digger derricksmay be evaluated with this test method.1.1.1.2 Digg
4、er derricks,if so equipped to position personnelor equipment,or both,may also be evaluated with this testmethod in conjunction with Test Method F914.1.1.2 Equipment Not CoveredExcluded from this testmethod are general-purpose cranes designed only for liftingservice and machines primarily designed on
5、ly for diggingholes.1.2 The AE test method is used to detect and area-locateemission sources.Verification of emission sources may requirethe use of other nondestructive test(NDT)methods,such asradiography,ultrasonic,magnetic particle,liquid penetrant,andvisual inspection.1.3 WarningThis test method
6、requires that external loadsbe applied to the superstructure of the vehicle under test.During the test,caution must be taken to safeguard personneland equipment against unexpected failure or instability of thevehicle or components.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concer
7、ns,if 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.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E94 Guide for Radiographic ExaminationE114 Pr
