Abstract
Acoustic emission (AE) techniques were introduced into China in the end of the 1960s. AE was applied to pressure vessel testing in the early 1980s. Now six AE testing and evaluation standards for pressure vessel have been published. More than 120 inspection organizations and 670 level II and III personnel are engaged in AE testing services for pressure equipment. More than 1500 large size pressure vessels are tested by AE per year. This chapter introduces the progress of AE testing for pressure vessels in China. In addition, the main AE instruments made in China are introduced. A newly developed pipeline leakage location instrument based on acoustic methods and correlation of the locations of continuous signals is also introduced. The results of a new study of cast iron paper dryers are reported.
