Abstract: Acoustic Emission Analysis is a relatively new non-destructive testing (NDT) technology which is being applied in industry to a wide variety of structures. Columbia Gas System Service Corporation, Research Department, has sponsored three demonstration tests using acoustic emission analysis to determine the structural integrity of buried pipelines. This paper describes the acoustic emission analysis system, its application to buried pipeline inspection and the results of the test program. Columbia plans continued acoustic emission demonstrations however, the work to date has shown the technology is a viable NDT tool for buried pipeline evaluation which offers several advantages over existing pipe testing methods.
