Recommendations
Areas suspected of crack-like defects remove paint, inspect using wet fluorescent magnetic particle Areas suspected of corrosion-like activities clean the surface, measure the corrosion depth, and conduct MPI if needed
Crack-like activity
Crack-like activity
Fractures appear where tank transverse bulkhead meets horizontal flats/ other tank tops.

Verification Tests
Verification trial was
required to demonstrate AE reliability to customer and authorities. Model of similar type and material to structure. Fatigue cracked at UWC lab. (sensors on reverse) Monitored by same AE system as proposed for
without load.

Channel based and Location Event based graphs show activity over a selected period of time. Internet Site Summary Screen for One GEM Case shows summary and statistics information and menu selections for other reporting information.
Typical Time based graph shows two selectable graph parameters, and selectable time period reporting.
SUMMARY
AE can locate damage in real-time AE can be used for inspection in areas that have limited access AE can be used as a tool for condition ranking AE can be used for continuous remote monitoring AE can assist in locating hidden/buried defects AE can be used for inspection in areas that have limited access AE monitoring can be combined with external parametrics (e.g. strain, displacement, temperature, pressure, etc.) to assist in identifying environmental effects that may lead to damage AE can increase vessel safety through early
warning notification.
