Acoustic Emission (AE) testing is a powerful non-destructive test method used to evaluate structural integrity in fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks, pressure vessels, and piping systems under stress.
By placing high-frequency piezoelectric sensors on the equipment exterior during pneumatic or hydrostatic pressurization, engineers can detect active flaw growth, matrix cracking, and fiber-matrix debonding in real time.
Maverick Applied Science utilizes specialized AE data acquisition systems adhering to ASME Section V Article 11 standards to pinpoint active damage zones before catastrophic mechanical failure occurs.
