EVS-EN 61161:2007

This International Standard • specifies a method of determining the total emitted acoustic power of ultrasonic transducers based on the use of a radiation force balance; • establishes general principles for the use of radiation force balances in which an obstacle (target) intercepts the sound field to be measured; • establishes limitations of the radiation force method related to cavitation and temperature rise; • establishes quantitative limitations of the radiation force method in relation to diverging and focused beams; • provides information on assessment of overall measurement uncertainties.
