System Verification
EN 13477-2:2021, Non-destructive testing – Acoustic emission testing – Equipment characterisation – Part 2: Verification of operating characteristics is the current standard that specifies test routines for the periodic verification of the performance of acoustic emission (AE) test equipment, i.e. sensors, pre-amplifiers, signal processors, external parametric inputs. The procedures specified in this standard do not exclude other qualified methods, e.g. verification in the frequency domain. These procedures apply in general unless the manufacturer specifies alternative equivalent procedures.
Vallen Systeme, manufacturer of AMSY-6 Measurement System, being compliant to EN 13477-2:2021 uses own and equivalent procedures for verifying the correct function of its equipment. The procedures for verification of signal processors, parametric channels and system performance are detailed in the document Verification of the AE Signal Processor, Parametric Input Channels and System Performance..
A verification of the measurement characteristics is advised after purchase of equipment, in order to obtain reference data for later verifications. Verification is also advised after repair, modifications, use under extraordinary conditions, or if one suspects a malfunction.
