Acoustic Emission (EA) is a Non Destructive Testing (NDT) method, based on a physical phenomenon that takes place inside materials. It is defined as the spontaneous energy emitted by a material, in the form of transient elastic waves. They constitute a method applied to detect and locate leaks and defects such as cracks or corrosion in pressure equipment, machines, installations, cranes, bridges, etc. The advantage of the method is that defects can be recorded before they become problems.
Summary of the steps for qualifying and certifying NDT personnel under ISO 9712 and SNT-TC-1A.
Identifying and managing risks and opportunities strengthens the effectiveness of processes under ISO 9001:2015.
The International Day of Women in Engineering was created by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) in the United Kingdom (year 2014).
Corrosion is a natural process of material degradation, with multiple consequences, not only economic, but also environmental and human.
Current research has focused its studies on the problems presented by metallic corrosion, caused by the progressive deterioration of the environment. However, there are few studies on the reverse case in relation to the effect that corrosion has on the environment.
Organizational and cultural factors that make it difficult to integrate maintenance as a key part of the production process.
Inspection of storage tanks according to American Petroleum Institute (API) standards are important to prevent not only catastrophic failures, but also to avoid problems related to the mechanical integrity of the assets affected mainly by corrosion in floors, walls and ceilings.
The field of storage tank inspections comprises in-service and out-of-service inspections of vertical and horizontal above-ground and subway tanks. A combination of techniques including engineering calculations according to API 653 and API 650 and other relevant specifications are used to perform a comprehensive inspection of the overall condition of the tank.

Visual inspection is a simple test compared to other non-destructive testing methods; however, since the main tool for carrying out this activity is the human eye, various factors can affect the sense of sight and distort the observation of surface imperfections.
