The invention relates to an acoustic emission sensor holder and discloses a holder for attaching an acoustic emission sensor to a non-metallic and non-magnetic material. The holder has a tubular bodywith 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 flexibleflaps 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 bottomend. The capture tabs are slidably and removably engageable with an engagement keyway in a retainer bracket that is affixed to a non-metallic and non-magnetic material. 本发明涉及声发射传感器保持器，公开了用于将声发射传感器附连到非金属和非磁性材料的保持器，所述保持器具有带有封闭顶端
