Description

The QAWRUMS W800/1 utilizes a passive piezoelectric sensing element with a ceramic face to convert high-frequency stress waves (acoustic emissions) into measurable electrical signals. This design provides a flat frequency response across its operational bandwidth, ensuring consistent signal fidelity for time-domain and frequency-domain analysis of structural integrity.

Engineered for durability, the sensor’s SUS-304 stainless steel body and IP68 ingress protection rating make it suitable for deployment in demanding conditions, including wet, dusty, or corrosive industrial settings. The integral cable with a BNC connector offers a secure, industry-standard interface compatible with most data acquisition systems, oscilloscopes, and AE preamplifiers.

Key Features

  • Passive piezoelectric sensing element for wideband acoustic emission detection without an integrated preamplifier.
  • Flat frequency response characteristic ensures accurate signal representation across the 50–800 kHz range.
  • High sensitivity greater than 65 dB (ref. 1 V/(m/s)) enables capture of low-amplitude AE events.
  • Rugged SUS-304 stainless steel housing with IP68 waterproof sealing for long-term reliability in harsh environments.
  • Ceramic sensing interface optimizes acoustic coupling and signal transmission to the piezoelectric element.
  • Integral cable terminated with a standard BNC connector for simplified, robust system integration.
  • Broad operating temperature range from -20°C to 120°C supports applications in extreme thermal conditions.
  • Compact form factor (19 mm diameter) allows for flexible mounting on complex structures.

Applications

  • Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for detecting crack initiation and propagation in pressure vessels, pipelines, and storage tanks.
  • Laboratory research and frequency analysis of acoustic emission modes in composite materials and metal alloys.
  • Condition monitoring of rotating machinery (bearings, gears) for early detection of pitting, spalling, and lubrication failures.
  • Leak detection and pressure fluctuation monitoring in high-pressure fluid and gas systems.
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) and quality control during material fatigue testing and component validation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the QAWRUMS W800/1 sensor have a built-in preamplifier?

No, the W800/1 is a passive piezoelectric sensor and does not include a built-in preamplifier. Its output signal requires external conditioning and amplification via a compatible AE preamplifier or a high-input-impedance data acquisition system before analysis. This design allows for greater flexibility in system integration and signal chain optimization.

What is the recommended mounting method for this AE sensor?

The sensor features a flat, smooth ceramic face for optimal acoustic coupling. It should be mounted directly onto the test structure using a suitable couplant gel or grease to ensure efficient ultrasonic wave transmission. For temporary or experimental setups, a magnetic hold-down fixture can be used. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat for consistent performance.

What type of data acquisition system is compatible with the W800/1's BNC output?

The sensor's integral cable with a standard BNC connector is compatible with most industrial data acquisition (DAQ) systems, oscilloscopes, and dedicated AE system front-ends that accept BNC inputs. Ensure your acquisition system has sufficient bandwidth (≥1 MHz recommended) and input impedance (typically 50 Ω or 1 MΩ selectable) to match the sensor's high-frequency output signal.

Can this sensor operate in high-temperature environments above 100°C?

Yes, the W800/1 is rated for continuous operation from -20°C to 120°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications such as process monitoring in power plants, chemical reactors, or hot structural components. Ensure that any used couplant is also rated for the intended temperature range to maintain proper acoustic coupling.
