Integrated acoustic emission transducer apparatus and methods

A method, comprising:

• extracting signal data at an integrated acoustic emission sensor from an acoustic emission signal generated via the integrated acoustic emission sensor;
• determining process variable data at the integrated acoustic emission sensor based on the extracted signal data, the process variable data including at least one of flow rate data, flow capacity data, flow area data, flow velocity data, mass accumulation data, or volume accumulation data;
• determining status indication data at the integrated acoustic emission sensor based on the process variable data;
• and
• presenting at least one of the process variable data or the status indication data at the integrated acoustic emission sensor.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:

• extract signal data at an integrated acoustic emission sensor from an acoustic emission signal generated via the integrated acoustic emission sensor;
• determine process variable data at the integrated acoustic emission sensor based on the extracted signal data, the process variable data including at least one of flow rate data, flow capacity data, flow area data, flow velocity data, mass accumulation data, or volume accumulation data;
• determine status indication data at the integrated acoustic emission sensor based on the process variable data;
• and
• present at least one of the process variable data or the status indication data at the integrated acoustic emission sensor.
