Product catalog summary
Description and Features
The PK3I sensor is a low frequency, resonant acoustic emission sensor equipped with an integral, ultra-low noise, low power, filtered 26dB preamplifier. It can drive up to 200 meters of cable, offering improved noise levels below 3 µV and power consumption of 25 mW. The sensor features a robust stainless steel body and a frequency response similar to the R3I sensor but in a smaller form factor. It includes an Auto Sensor Test (AST) capability for verifying sensor coupling and performance.

Applications
The PK3I sensor is compatible with the Pocket AE handheld system and the Sensor Highway II online monitoring system.

  • Environmental: Temperature Range: -35º to 80º C, Shock Limit: 500 g, Shielded crystal for RFI/EMI immunity
  • Physical: Dimensions: 0.812 D X 1.06H/20.6 X 27, Weight: 52 grams, Case Material: Stainless steel, Face Material: Ceramic, Connector: SMA, Location: Side
  • Electrical: Input Power Range: 4 to 7 VDC, Operating/Max Current: 5/35 mA, Internal Preamp Gain: 26 dB, RMS Noise RTI: < 3 µV

Ordering Information and Accessories
Includes NIST Calibration Certificate & Warranty. Accessories include cables (specify length), Magnetic Hold-Down, and Amplifier Subsystems (AE2A, AE5A).

Additional Information
The AST feature allows the sensor to function as both a pulser and receiver, enabling self-diagnosis and testing of nearby sensors. MISTRAS Group, Inc. reserves the right to amend specifications without notice. The product is ISO 9001 certified.

PK31-1

Low Frequency Integral Preamplifier Resonant Acoustic Emission Sensor Operating Specifications The PK3I sensor is a low frequency, resonant, acoustic emission sensor with an integral, ultra low noise, low improvement in both noise and low power consumption performance, with noise level below 3 uV and power consumption of 25 mW. The PK3I features a strong stainless steel, integrated body structure. The sensor has a similar frequency response as the R3I sensor, except Completely shielded crystal for maximum RFI/EMI The integrated Auto Sensor Test (AST*) capability allows these sensors to pulse as well as receive. This feature lets you verify the sensor coupling and performance at any time power, filtered, 26dB preamplifier, which can drive up to 200 meters of cable. This new sensor represents an The PK3I sensor has been designed to be used with the Pocket AE, a small handheld AE system, or with the before, during or after the test. Sensor Highway II, an outdoor rated, on-line monitoring Ordering Information and Accessories Due to continuing improvement, MISTRAS Group, Inc. reserves the right to amend specifications without notice.

It can therefore characterize its own condition as well as send out a simulated acoustic emission wave that other sensors can detect, so the condition of the nearby sensors also can be tested.
