SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING THE INTEGRITY OF POROUS ELEMENTS

摘要

An apparatus (1) for detecting defects in porous elements (3) including systems and methods for quantifying acoustic signal data. A transducer (4) receives acoustic signals generated within a test chamber (2) by a porous element (3). A signal processing device (9) may be included for analyzing the acoustic signals received, for quantifying the acoustic signals, and for correlating the acoustic signals with physical attributes of the porous element (3).
