SENSORS
Physical Acoustics’
sensors are built to "listen" to high frequency signals. Much like a
highly-sensitive “ear,” Acoustic Emission sensors interpret the
material’s “voice” into usable AE waveforms. Additionally, AE sensors
help understand how materials behave in their natural setting.
AE sensors are a
vital link in determining how to apply remedial solutions and repairs to
resolve structural issues. AE sensors are used to test storage tanks,
heat exchangers, piping, reactors, aerial lift devices, as well as gas,
petro-chemical and nuclear power plants.
Physical Acoustics’ sensors can be built with specific
features to meet project or application specific needs.

PREAMPLIFIERS
Preamplifiers recognize the extremely low amplitude AE signal produced
from AE sensors, and convert the signals into amplified and usable
forms. As applications and testing conditions vary, project needs may
change as well. Physical Acoustics offers an entire line of
preamplifiers for a variety of testing requirements. Operating in
conjunction with our specialized AE software, preamplifiers also
moderate signal size during the data collection process, helping to
produce accurate results.
