The reading should be 1.00 gram higher than the null reading. 8. When the UPM-30 is not in use, store the target and bracket inside the test tank and replace the water- tight lid. The lid will restrain the water during transit, reduce the absorption of air into the water, and pre- vent water contamination from foreign particles.
1.50 grams which gives a difference reading of 0.75 total gram force). Multiply 1. Place the UPM-30 on a level and stable surface. this difference in gram readings by the constant, 14.65. The formula for total radiated power in watts 2.
WATER, TANK SIZE, TRANSDUCER PLACEMENT & levels, will drive out dissolved air and air bubbles will be TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS visible on surfaces in the tank. These bubbles can be Water as a Measurement Medium: The measurements gently brushed off. are to be performed in de-gassed water because ultra- sound propagation in water closely approximates that in Transducer Wetting and Placement: After tilting the tissues (see UL-1-1981, AIUM/NEMA Standard Publica-...
THEORY OF MEASURING ULTRASOUND POWER WITH THE RADIATION FORCE METHOD Sound is a form of energy that sets the particles in the isonated medium into vibrational motion. The particles then pos- sess a kinetic energy. If dP is the rate of the flow of this energy about an area dA, then the mean acoustic energy is: Eq.
