Metallic Pressure Vessels
Can the vessel be screened for active sources during a controlled pressure or loading cycle?
Explore the solution →Understand AET scope development, sensor placement, controlled monitoring and technical reporting for industrial assets.
AET is not one fixed test package. A pressure vessel, operating pipe, tank, FRP component or concrete structure needs a different loading condition, sensor arrangement, analysis and acceptance basis. IAIS reviews the enquiry and proposes an asset-specific scope, subject to confirmed resources and site conditions.

Explore the solution →Review drawings, materials, expected mechanism, safe stimulus, standard and method demonstration.
Plan sensor access, verify the measuring chain and capture activity alongside the load or process record.
Assess relevance and location within the proven coverage; explain uncertainty and excluded zones.
Select local NDT or engineering assessment when the result requires characterization or action.
Sensor placement, test conditions and data acquisition are planned around the specific asset and inspection objective.
