Table 25 Ultrasonic Velocities In A Variety Of Common Materials; Appendix A: Sound Velocities - Olympus EPOCH 650 User Manual

Appendix A: Sound Velocities

Table 25 on page 307 lists the ultrasonic velocity in a variety of common materials.
This is only a guide. The actual velocity in these materials might vary significantly
due to a variety of causes, such as, composition, preferred crystallographic
orientation, porosity, and temperature. For maximum accuracy, establish the sound
velocity in a given material by first testing a sample of the material.
