Abstract: A holder for attaching an acoustic emission sensor to a non-metallic and non-magnetic material has a tubular body with a closed top end and an open bottom end through which the sensor is insertable into the tubular body. The closed top end has a plurality of unitary flexible flaps angularly extending inwardly from an inner surface of the enclosed top end. An inner surface of the tubular body has a plurality of spacers extending radially inward proximate the bottom end of the tubular body. The unitary flexible flaps and the spacers fix the sensor within the tubular body. The tubular body may also have a plurality of capture tabs extending outwardly from an exterior surface thereof proximate the open bottom end that are slidably and removably engageable with an engagement keyway in a retainer bracket that is affixed to a non-metallic and non-magnetic material.
