ISO 12713 Acoustic Emission Testing Laboratory Testing Services Provided by Eurolab
Standard-Related Information
ISO 12713 Acoustic Emission Testing is a widely accepted international standard for evaluating the acoustic emission (AE) response of materials under various types of stress. The standard provides guidelines for conducting AE tests, including equipment requirements, testing procedures, and data analysis methods.
The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which brings together experts from around the world to establish voluntary standards for a wide range of industries and applications. ISO 12713 Acoustic Emission Testing is based on the principles of AE testing as described in ASTM E976-15, EN 13737:2015, and other relevant national and international standards.
Legal and Regulatory Framework
The standard is governed by various laws and regulations that require or recommend its use in specific industries. For example, the European Unions Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) requires manufacturers to conduct AE testing on certain types of machinery to ensure their safety and reliability. Similarly, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has developed standards for AE testing in various industries, including construction, aerospace, and energy.
Standard Requirements and Needs
The need for ISO 12713 Acoustic Emission Testing arises from the requirement to evaluate the structural integrity of materials under various types of stress. This is particularly important in industries where the failure of equipment or structures can result in significant economic losses or even loss of life.
Businesses that require AE testing services include:
Test Conditions and Methodology
The test is conducted in accordance with the standard, which specifies the following:
1. Equipment requirements: The testing equipment must be calibrated to ensure accuracy and precision.
2. Testing procedure: The test is conducted under controlled conditions, including temperature, humidity, and pressure.
3. Sample preparation: Samples are prepared according to the manufacturers instructions.
4. Measurement and analysis methods: Data is collected using specialized AE instruments and analyzed using software specifically designed for this purpose.
Test Reporting and Documentation
The test report includes:
1. Summary of results: A summary of the test results, including any conclusions drawn from the data.
2. Graphical representation: Graphs showing the AE signals recorded during testing.
3. Data analysis: A detailed analysis of the AE data, including any relevant statistics and calculations.
4. Recommendations: Recommendations for further testing or maintenance based on the test results.
Why This Test Should Be Performed
Performing ISO 12713 Acoustic Emission Testing has numerous benefits, including:
1. Risk assessment and mitigation: Identifying potential failure points in equipment and structures to prevent accidents and economic losses.
2. Quality assurance and compliance: Ensuring that equipment and structures meet regulatory requirements and industry standards.
3. Competitive advantages: Demonstrating a commitment to safety and quality, which can improve market positioning and customer confidence.
4. Cost savings and efficiency improvements: Identifying areas for improvement and optimizing maintenance schedules to reduce downtime and costs.
