Terminology3.1 DefinitionsSee Terminology E1316 for general terminology applicable to this practice.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 AE test pressure, n110 % of the greatest pressure that the examination article contains during previous service. Usually125 % of t

19、he filling pressure is an acceptable AE examination pressure. (Normally, gas is heated when compressed during thefilling process; hence, tanks are filled to more than rated service pressure). After filling, pressure should settle to rated servicepressure as gas temperature within the tank becomes eq

20、ual to ambient temperature.3.2.2 detectability distance, nthe maximum distance from a sensor at which a defined simulated AE source can be detectedby the instrumentation with defined settings and using appropriate pressurization medium.4. Summary of Practice4.1 AE sensors are mounted on a vessel and

21、 emission is monitored while the vessel is pressurized to the “AE examinationpressure.”4.2 This practice provides guidelines for the detection of AE from structural flaws in the composite overwrap in gas-filled,filament-wound composite pressure vessels. Damage mechanisms which produceAE include: res

22、in cracking, fiber debonding, fiberpullout, fiber breakage, delamination and bond failure. Flaws in liner portions of a vessel may not be detected.4.3 This practice and others found in ASTM, ASME, ASNT, SPI relate Acoustic Emission to applied load on the compositematerial. At relatively low load (sa

23、fe operating conditions) the acoustic emission from the composite material is low. At higherloads (unsafe operating conditions) the slope of the AE versus load curve changes drastically. In some cases this phenomenon canbe identified and quantified by a single AE parameter (that is, AE counts).4.4 S

24、tructurally insignificant flaws or processes (for example, leaks) may produce emission.4.5 This practice is convenient for periodic examination of vessels in-service.4.6 Gas-filled filament-wound pressure vessels which exhibit unacceptable levels ofAE should be examined by other methods;for example,

25、 visual, ultrasound, dye penetrant, etc., and may be repaired and re-examined in accordance with governmentregulations and manufacturers guidelines. Repair and repair examination procedures are outside the scope of this practice.4.7 Any number of pressure vessels may be examined simultaneously as lo

26、ng as the appropriate number of sensors andinstrumentation channels are used.5. Significance and Use5.1 Due to safety considerations, the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) and others have produced guidelines which addressin-service inspection of NGV fuel containers (see 2.2 2.4). AE examination is li

27、sted as an alternative to the minimum three-yearvisual examination which generally requires that the container be removed from the vehicle to expose the entire container surface.The AE method allows “in-situ” examination of the container.5.1.1 Slow-fill pressurization must proceed at flow rates that

28、 do not produce background noise from flow of the pressurizingmedium. Acoustic emission data are recorded throughout a pressurization range (that is, 50 % to 100 % of AE examinationpressure).5.1.2 Fast-fill pressurization can be used if hold periods are provided.Acoustic emission data are recorded o

29、nly during the holdperiods.NOTE 1Fast-fill pressurization is less appropriate for carbon (or graphite) composites due to the lower sensitivity of carbon fibers to stress rupturecompared to other fibers.5.1.3 Background noise above the threshold will contaminate the AE data and render them useless. U

30、sers must be aware of thefollowing common causes of background noise: high fill rate (measurable flow noise); mechanical contact with the vessel by5 Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk, DODSSP, Bldg. 4, Section D, 700 Robbins Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111-5098, http:/www.dodssp.daps.m

Apparatus7.1 Essential features of the apparatus required for this standard are shown in Fig. 1. Specifications are provided in Annex A1.7.2 Couplant must

40、be used to acoustically couple sensors to the vessel surface. Adhesives that have acceptable acousticproperties and traditional couplants are acceptable.7.3 Sensors may be held in place with elastic straps, adhesive tape, or other mechanical means.7.4 On small vessels (that is, where less than 1.3 y

41、d3 1 m3 (where 100 % coverage can be achieved with two sensors) thesensor locations on the vessel wall will be determined by accessibility. Ideally they should be placed 180 apart at opposite endsof the container on the shoulders.7.5 On larger vessels (that is, where two sensors cannot provide 100 %

42、 coverage) sensors are positioned on the vessel wall soas to provide complete coverage. Sensor spacings are governed by the attenuation of the material. If attenuation characteristics arenot available from previous examinations of similar vessels follow the directions found below.FIG. 1 Essential Fe

43、atures of the ApparatusE2191/E2191M 1637.5.1 Attenuation CharacterizationTypical signal propagation losses shall be determined in accordance with the followingprocedure. This procedure provides a relative measure of the attenuation but may not be representative of a genuine AE source.It should be no

Select a representative region of the vessel with clear access along the cylindrical section. Mount anAE sensor and markoff 15-cm 6-in. intervals from the center of the sensor al

Selectadditional points on the surface of the vessel at 15-cm 6-in. intervals along lines angled 45 and 90, respectively, to the principaldirection of the surface fiber. Break pencil leads (see Guide E976) and record peak amplitude

46、. All lead breaks shall be done at anangle of approximately 30 to the surface with a 2.5-mm 0.1-in. lead extension. The attenuation data shall be retained as part ofthe test report.7.5.2 Record the distances from the center of the sensor to the points where hits are no longer detected. Repeat this p

47、rocedurealong lines angled 45 and 90 to the direction of the original line.The data shall be retained as part of the test report.The minimumdistance from the sensor at which the pencil lead break can no longer be detected is known as the detectability distance; thisdistance shall be recorded. Use th

48、e same threshold during testing that was used to determine the detectability distance.NOTE 2Detectability distance may be reduced to achieve greater sensitivity to sources at farther distance.7.5.3 Sensor spacing (distance between adjacent sensors) shall not be greater than 1.5 times the detectabili

49、ty distance.7.6 AE sensors are used to detect stress waves produced by flaws. Sensors must be held in contact with the vessel wall to ensureadequate acoustic coupling.7.7 A preamplifier may be enclosed in the sensor housing or in a separate enclosure. If a separate preamplifier is used, cablelength, between sensor and preamplifier, must not result in a signal loss of greater than 3 dB (typically 2 m 6 ft is acceptable).7.8 Power/signal cable length (that is, cable between preamplifier and signal processor) shall
