BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM
STATEMENT
BACKGROUN
D
This study is about to identify early occurrence of
leakage in valve while the valve is in open position by
conducting an experimental work using Acoustic
Emission technique.
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
Current valve leak test conducted in industrial plant
cant identify leakage in valve at early stage .
Must wait longer for future plant shutdown to do
further inspection which this might cause the valve
that having minor leakage to become more severe or
damaged.
