July 14-16, 2015 Onda introduces new cavitation meter with Kaijo and Crest at Semicon West in San Francisco.
Onda is pleased to partner with Kaijo and Crest to showcase a new measurement instrument to quantify the cavitation performance used in ultrasonic cleaning and sonoprocessing applications. This is the first time that a commercially available product has been developed for commercial use. Coupled with a calibrated HCT-0310 hydrophone, four key parameters are determined instantaneously:
– Fundamental Frequency, FO
– Direct Field Pressure, PO
– Stable Cavitation Pressure, PS
– Transient Cavitation Pressure, PT
This is done by analyzing the calibrated acoustic spectrum which captures the different pressure components, including the acoustic pressure generated by the direct field and by cavitation, or the growth, contraction, and collapse of micro-bubbles (or cavities) within a liquid media. The energy from the implosion of a cavity is sufficient to overcome particle adhesion forces. However, excessive cavitation energy can damage the surface of a substrate.
Only a limited number of units are currently available for evaluation. Please contact Onda for further information.
