Scope of These Guidance Notes
The purpose of these Guidance Notes is to make available an ABS document that contains information related to the use of Acoustic Emission technology for monitoring the structural health of the hull or other structures. These Guidance Notes address:
• Acoustic Emission application in marine environment (Sections 1 through 7)
• Background of acoustic emission testing (Appendices 1 through 6)
Sections 1 through 7 briefly introduce the technology, outline the test process, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the several parties involved in staging an Acoustic Emission project. By outlining the test process, it material for checklists to the AE test team, Owner, and ABS with that he can use to perform his assigned oversight role. Appendices 1 through 6 gives more technical detail about the Acoustic Emission method for those who wish to understand it in greater depth.
