DETECTION OF PASTER WELDS WITH ACOUSTIC EMISSION

Method and apparatus for the nondestructive detection of paster welds wherein the test piece is repeatedly flexed at the weld to be tested, and then any acoustic emission produced by such flexing, indicative of the presence of a paster weld, is detected. The invention provides for apparatus to conve...

Zusammenfassung:Method and apparatus for the nondestructive detection of paster welds wherein the test piece is repeatedly flexed at the weld to be tested, and then any acoustic emission produced by such flexing, indicative of the presence of a paster weld, is detected. The invention provides for apparatus to convert the acoustic emission to electrical pulses which may then be integrated to provide a signal dependent upon the amplitude and rate of such acoustic emission.
