Why Choose PD ISO/TS 19016:2019?

The PD ISO/TS 19016:2019 standard is a critical tool for ensuring the integrity and safety of gas cylinders and tubes. With the increasing use of composite materials in cylinder construction, traditional inspection methods may not be sufficient. This standard introduces the Modal Acoustic Emission (MAE) testing method, which is specifically designed to address the unique challenges posed by composite materials.

MAE testing is a non-destructive testing method that detects and analyzes the acoustic emissions produced by the material under stress. This allows for the early detection of potential failures, ensuring that any issues can be addressed before they lead to catastrophic failure. By implementing MAE testing as outlined in this standard, you can significantly enhance the safety and reliability of your gas cylinders.
