(I will agree 100% with Hunter. The kind of AE inspection and reporting is being done now-a-days and is being thrown to clients is simply unacceptable technologically as well as professionally. Acoustic Emission testing is being treated technically as well as commercially, as any routine, manual, instant machine results-based technology for Go-NO GO kind of results, short changing many unsuspecting or not well-informed clients. This is a real tragedy and amounts almost to an insult to the capacity and capability of Acoustic Emission technology itself. Early defect detection/quantitative defect estimation, in current scenario, is a far cry in the wild.)
