• Fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composites, in particular glass-fiber<br />

reinforced parts or structures (e.g. fan blades)<br />

• Material research (e.g. investigation of material properties, breakdown<br />

mechanisms, and damage behavior)<br />

• Inspection and quality assurance, (e.g. wood drying processes, scratch<br />

tests)<br />

• Real-time leakage test and location within various components (small<br />

valves, steam lines, tank bottoms)<br />

• Detection and location of high-voltage partial discharges in transformers<br />

• Railroad tank car and rocket motor testing<br />

There are a number of standards and guidelines that describe AE testing and<br />

application procedures as supplied by the American Society for <strong>Testing</strong> and<br />

Materials (ASTM). Examples are ASTM E 1932 for the AE examination of<br />

small parts and ASTM E1419-00 for the method of examining seamless,<br />

gas-filled, pressure vessels.<br />
