Inspection of nuclear reactor welding by acoustic emission. Data report, November 1975--May 1976
Creators
Description
Experimental acoustic emission data on simulated nuclear pressure vessel welds are presented. Acoustic emission was monitored during the pressure vessel tests using flaw detection and noise discrimination techniques previously applied to nuclear piping welds. In addition to the flaw detection circuitry, a modified Dunegan-Endevco two-channel time-of-arrival flaw location system was utilized. Acoustic emission data are considered in terms of the capability of AE to discriminate between various flaw types and to provide information on flaw size. The results of the analysis are compared to current ASME Code requirements to determine those areas where additional laboratory testing is required
