Listen to your asset while it is under load.
Acoustic emission testing detects active stress-wave events as they happen. IAIS helps industrial teams assess feasibility, plan sensor coverage and turn AET data into focused inspection decisions.
Core applications
Acoustic emission solutions for critical industrial assets
Choose the application that best matches your inspection objective. Each project begins with a feasibility review of geometry, access, material, loading and background noise.

Wide-area listening, followed by targeted inspection
AE sensors listen for transient elastic waves generated by active processes in a material or structure. Activity can help identify areas that deserve closer investigation, while the final interpretation remains tied to the asset, coverage, noise environment and test procedure.
Start with feasibility, not assumptions
Share drawings, dimensions, material, service conditions, known degradation and the available loading window. The applicable procedure and sensor plan depend on those details.

A clear route from inspection objective to actionable evidence
Define the question
Clarify the suspected mechanism, asset condition and decision the inspection must support.
Check test conditions
Review loading, access, material, geometry, attenuation and background process noise.
Acquire & evaluate
Verify the measuring chain, capture activity and evaluate signals with the test record.
Plan confirmation
Use local NDT or engineering review where AE results warrant further characterization.
