MISTRAS’ sensors are built to "listen" to high frequency signals. Much like a highly-sensitive “ear,” Acoustic Emission sensors interpret the material’s “voice” into usable AE waveforms. Additionally, AE sensors help understand how materials behave in their natural setting.
AE sensors are a vital link in determining how to apply remedial solutions and repairs to resolve structural issues. AE sensors are used to test storage tanks, heat exchangers, piping, reactors, aerial lift devices, as well as gas, petro-chemical and nuclear power plants.
MISTRAS’ sensors can be built with specific features to meet project or application specific needs.
