Acoustic Emission Instrumentation, Sensors, and Probes

SPECTRO recommends Acoustic Emission Consulting, Inc. for acoustic emission instrumentation, sensors, and probes.
The instrumentation offerings are focused on portable hand held instrumentation, featuring the only instrument of its kind, the AED-2000. This flexible instrument is accompanied by a full range of probes for a variety of applications:.
composite materials
geotechnical materials—concrete, rock, soil
metals---creep cracking, fatigue cracking, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement cracking, yielding, fracture and crack propagation
corrosion detection
cavitation in pumps, piping and turbines
leak detection
machinery health monitoring
hard drive head-disk contact
transformer partial discharge
Also developed specialized probes for acoustic detection of insect pests in conjunction with the USDA, including:
termites (drywood, subterranean, Formosan)
insect pests in nursery pots (Black Vine Weevil)
wood boring insects (Asian Longhorned Beetle)
insect pests in stored grains (weevils)
destructive ants (fire ants, carpenter ants)
