ISO 16838:2019 PDF Download

ISO 16838:2019 is a standard that falls under the category of non-destructive testing. The purpose of this standard is to provide a test method for the classification of active cracks in concrete structures using acoustic emission testing. Acoustic emission testing is a technique that involves the monitoring of acoustic signals produced by materials when subjected to stress or strain.

The standard references several related documents that are essential for the application of the test method. This includes ISO 12713, which deals with the primary calibration of transducers used in acoustic emission inspection, ISO 12714, which covers the secondary calibration of acoustic emission sensors, ISO 12716, which provides the vocabulary related to acoustic emission inspection, and ISO/TR 13115, which outlines methods for the absolute calibration of acoustic emission transducers.
