ASTM E 749 - 96. Standard Practice for Acoustic Emission Monitoring During Continuous Welding

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). 1996, 5 pages.
This practice provides recommended guidelines for acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of weldments during and immediately following their fabrication by continuous welding processes. The technique is in a developmental stage and is not used routinely on production welding. Depending on the
results of ongoing research and preproduction weld monitoring experience, these procedures are subject to change before routine implementation on production welds.
