This document specifies the use of acoustic emission examination (AT) during periodic inspection and testing of hoop wrapped (Type 2) and fully wrapped (Types 3 and 4) composite transportable gas cylinders and tubes of water capacity up to 3 000 l, with aluminium-alloy, steel or non-metallic liner or of linerless construction (Type 5), intended for compressed and liquefied gases under pressure.
It is applicable to only the verification of the composite material. Additional inspection such as internal visual inspection of the liner does not apply to this document (see ISO 11623).
