Acoustic Emission Testing
Acoustic emission testing (AET) is a powerful screening technique that provides real time, 100% volumetric monitoring of in-service equipment.AET uses innovative equipment to spot the acoustic signals produced within material that is under stress. Software analyzes the collected signals and identifies the location and strictness of any structural defects found, such as:
- Corrosion.
- Cracking.
- Embrittlement.
Effective Screening
AET is unique within NDT techniques in dealing with dynamic processes, or changes, in a material. Because only active features, like crack growth, are highlighted, AET allows you differentiate between developing and stagnant defects.
The result will let you monitor how different processes or changes in load, pressure, or how temperature affect your components.

Minimum Disruption
With AET, equipment can be inspected on-line. Since AET can be used with temperatures as high as 1475°F (800°C), it is an excellent means for inspecting insulated components and for use during cool-downs and start-ups.
Background Noise
Background noise is an problem when collecting acoustic emissions. Our tools include software, sensors, and preamplifiers designed to help remove unwanted signals. However, in some cases background noise may make AET unusable.
Wide Range of Application
AET is suitable for both on-stream monitoring and remote long term monitoring. It can be applied to:
- Horton spheres and legs
- Nuclear reactors and piping
- Tube trailers
- Fiberglass reinforced plastic tanks and piping
- Offshore platform monitoring
- Above ground storage tanks
- Pressure containment vessels, including columns, bullets, and cat crackers
- Railroad tank cars
- Bridge critical members monitoring
- Pre- and post-stressed concrete beams
- High-energy seam-welded piping systems in power plants
Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing
GWUT provides 100% coverage of the pipe wall without having to get rid of insulation or coating. It quickly identifies areas of corrosion or erosion that may then undergo more detailed inspections using other NDT techniques, such as radiography or 3D structured light.

Inspect Difficult to Access Systems
GWUT can inspect systems that can’t be accessed easily, such as:
- River or bridge pipeline crossings
- Insulated pipe in refineries
- Cased road or railway crossings
- Offshore pipeline risers
- Tank dyke pipeline crossings
- Loading lines and associated pipe work
- Above ground or buried flow lines.
IRTS’s GWUT inspections of cased road or railway crossings meet US DOT inspection requirements.
