BS EN ISO 18081:2016 specifies the general principles required for leak detection by acoustic
emission testing (AT). It is addressed to the application of the methodology on structures and
components, where a leak flow as a result of pressure differences appears and generates acoustic
emission (AE).It describes phenomena of the AE generation and influence of the nature of fluids, shape of the gap,
wave propagation and environment.The different application methods, instrumentation and presentation of AE results is discussed.
Also included are guidelines for the preparation of application documents which describe specific
requirements for the application of the AE method.Different application examples are given.Unless otherwise specified in the referencing documents, the minimum requirements of this
International Standard are applicable.Cross References:ISO 9712ISO/IEC 17025EN 1330-1EN 1330-2EN 1330-9EN 13477-1EN 13477-2EN 13554EN 60529ASTM E1139ASTM E1211EN 1330-8EN 60079-0EN 60079-11EN 60079-1494/9/ECAll current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
