The Use of Acoustic Emission as a Non-destructive Testing Method

As an advanced non-destructive method, Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) can help you detect impending issues and potential damages early. AET can also be used to conduct proof and pressure tests without making use of water by only making use of the medium inside your vessel for the pressurisation.

This webinar will provide an overview on AET including history, benefits and how it complements traditional testing methods, and showcase the most effective applications for your organisation.

The webinar will tackle the following:

• Know the most effective application of Acoustic Emission Test
• Understand the benefits and limitations of AET
• Gain insights on how AET can identify critical defects from the outside

About the speaker

Mr. Hermann Schubert

Since January 2020, Mr. Hermann has been working at TÜV SÜD Chemie Service as Head of Digital and Continuous Inspection. Responsible for developing the AT-Market with all global players in the Petro-chemical branch in Germany and where it is requested (USA, Spain, ASMEA and more).

With more then 25 years of experience in ultrasonic, x-ray, eddy-current and acoustic emission, Mr. Hermann is always focusing on digital solutions, continuous inspection and monitoring.

BUSINESS BENEFITS OF AET

• Save costs - by combining AET with other NDT processes to carry out targeted checks
• Identify imperfections - such as cracks or corrosion at an early stage
• Carry out integral monitoring of complex pressure vessels - for crack formation and progress
• Avoid corrosion, contamination and static loads - by knowing them at early stage
• Carry out AET in-service - without draining the operating medium
• Ensure safety of the systems - and increase the availability
• Gain competitive advantage from a trusted partner - with many years of experience
