This International Standard is a guideline for using acoustic emission testing (AT) during re-qualification of seamless steel cylinders and tubes of water capacity up to 3 000 I used for compressed and liquefied gases. For cylinders below 20 I additional precautions may be taken due to the potential reflections from the ends. This examination provides indications and locations that should be evaluated by another examination for a possible flaw in the cylinder. This International Standard covers monolithic steel cylinders.
