1.1 本试验方法描述了使用声发射（AE）测试对无补充负载处理附件的空中人员装置进行无损检测的程序。 1.1.1 涵盖的设备- 本试验方法涵盖以下类型的车载绝缘高空作业人员装置: 1.1.1.1 可扩展吊杆高空作业人员装置， 1.1.1.2 铰接起重臂空中人员装置，以及 1.1.1.3 以下各项的任意组合 1.1.1.1 和 1.1.1.2 . 1.1.2 未涵盖的设备- 本试验方法不包括以下任何设备: 1.1.2.1 物料搬运空中设备， 1.1.2.2 带平台的挖掘机井架，以及 1.1.2. 3. 带平台的起重机。 1.2 声发射测试方法用于检测和区域定位发射源。发射源的验证可能需要使用其他无损检测（NDT）方法，如射线照相、超声波、磁粉、液体渗透和目视检查。 警告 -本试验方法要求对受试车辆的上部结构施加外部荷载。试验期间，必须小心保护人员和设备，防止车辆或部件发生意外故障或不稳定。 注1: 本试验方法并非用于验证架空设备结构完整性的独立无损检测方法。 应使用其他无损检测方法来补充结果。 1.3 以国际单位制或英寸-磅单位表示的数值应单独视为标准值。每个系统中规定的值可能不是精确的等效值；因此，每个系统应相互独立使用。将两个系统的值合并可能会导致不符合标准。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 本试验方法提供了一种评估受控载荷下航空人员装置内局部源快速释放能量产生的声发射的方法。在故意施加受控的预定负载期间，产生的能量释放发生。这些能量释放可由合格人员监测和解释。 5.2 本试验方法允许在受控载荷下对空中人员装置的主要部件进行试验。该测试方法利用客观标准进行评估，并可随时停止，以调查特定关注区域或防止故障继续到最终故障。 5.3 本试验方法提供了一种检测声发射源的方法，该声发射源可能是缺陷或不规则，或两者兼而有之，影响结构完整性或空中人员装置的预期用途。 5.4 使用本试验方法发现的声发射源应通过更精细的声发射试验方法或其他无损技术（视觉、液体渗透、射线照相、超声波、磁粉等）进行评估。可能需要进行其他无损检测，以定位高空作业人员设备中存在的缺陷。 5.5 通过本试验方法在高空作业人员设备中发现的缺陷区域应进行维修，并酌情重新测试。 维修程序建议不在本试验方法的范围内。

1.1 This test method describes a procedure for non-destructive testing using acoustic emission (AE) testing for aerial personnel devices, which do not have a supplemental load handling attachment. 1.1.1 Equipment Covered— This test method covers the following types of vehicle-mounted insulated aerial personnel devices: 1.1.1.1 Extensible boom aerial personnel devices, 1.1.1.2 Articulating boom aerial personnel devices, and 1.1.1.3 Any combination of 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 . 1.1.2 Equipment Not Covered— This test method does not cover any of the following equipment: 1.1.2.1 Material-handling aerial devices, 1.1.2.2 Digger-derricks with platform, and 1.1.2.3 Cranes with platform. 1.2 The AE test method is used to detect and area-locate emission sources. Verification of emission sources may require the use of other nondestructive test (NDT) methods, such as radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, and visual inspection. Warning —This test method requires that external loads be applied to the superstructure of the vehicle under test. During the test, caution must be taken to safeguard personnel and equipment against unexpected failure or instability of the vehicle or components. Note 1: This test method is not intended to be a stand alone NDT method for the verification of the structural integrity of an aerial device. Other NDT methods should be used to supplement the results. 1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This test method provides a means of evaluating acoustic emissions generated by the rapid release of energy from localized sources within an aerial personnel device under controlled loading. The resultant energy releases occur during intentional application of a controlled predetermined load. These energy releases can be monitored and interpreted by qualified individuals. 5.2 This test method permits testing of the major components of an aerial personnel device under controlled loading. This test method utilizes objective criteria for evaluation and may be discontinued at any time to investigate a particular area of concern or prevent a fault from continuing to ultimate failure. 5.3 This test method provides a means of detecting acoustic emission sources that may be defects or irregularities, or both, affecting the structural integrity or intended use of the aerial personnel device. 5.4 Sources of acoustic emission found with this test method shall be evaluated by either more refined acoustic emission test methods or other nondestructive techniques (visual, liquid penetrant, radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle, etc.). Other nondestructive tests may be required to locate defects present in aerial personnel devices. 5.5 Defective areas found in aerial personnel devices by this test method should be repaired and retested as appropriate. Repair procedure recommendations are outside the scope of this test method.
