    14.65. Therefore, a 2.05 gram force would be equal to 30 watts of ultrasound radiation. The heart of the USP-30 system is its air-filled conical target. The weight of this target is nulled to a minimum by using its own buoyancy.

    The reading should be 1.00 gram higher then the null reading. 9. When the USP-30 is not in use, store the target and hanger inside the test tank and replace the watertight lid. The lid will restrain the water during transit, reduce the absorption of air into the water, and prevent water contamination from foreign particles.

    HOW TO OPERATE THE USP-30 1. Place the Model USP-30 on a level and stable surface. 2. Remove the carrying case cover and the lid from water tank. 3. Pull the triangular hanger out of the water in the test tank and hang it on the upper (or lower) scale hook.
  • Page 7: Degassed Water And Transducer Considerations

    DEGASSED WATER AND TRANSDUCER CONSIDERATIONS Water as a Measurement Medium* The measurements are to be performed in water because ultrasound propagation in water closely approximates that in tissues. The ultrasonic attenuation in water can be taken as a lower limit on the attenuation that will be encountered in the body.
