The paper gives the results of acoustic emission (AE) evaluation during pneumatic testing of pressure vessels in air distribution station at Odesa Portside Plant. It is shown that application of AE testing and respective equipment allowed evaluation of technical condition of the tested objects, as well as taking into account the special features of testing performance, in order to improve the methodological approaches to generation and processing of data of complex structure AE diagnostics. 8 Ref., 5 Tabl., 10 Fig.
