ASTM Standards on Acoustic Emission Testing includes three of the latest standards for the testing of insulated aerial personnel devices (IAPD) and digger derricks. It provides a means of evaluating acoustic emissions generated by rapid releases of energy from localized sources within an IAPD or insulated digger derrick. The resultant energy releases can be monitored by qualified individuals.

These test methods illustrate the best practices used by utilities, testing contractors, and equipment manufacturers, and include the latest technologies in the in the non-destructive testing industry.

This handy reference volume may serve as a guideline to utility company personnel, testing contractors, equipment manufactures, and those who wish to incorporate acoustic emission testing into their fleets.
