Due to the hard-work and dedicated efforts of our trained procuring agents, we have been able to provide an extensive range of Ultrasonic Energy Meter.
The Megasonic Energy Meters (500 kHz to 5 MHz) are precise instruments for measuring megasonic and cavitation energy density, as well as megasonic frequency. The systems measure energy density at a given point in time and space in a single fixed direction in the tank.
The megasonic meters are simple and easy to use yet contain sophisticated electronics for data storage, retrieval and analysis. Readings are processed 1.5 times per second for fast accurate display on the front panel LCD.
In "auto mode" the unit will gather statistical parameters including average, standard deviation, minimum and maximum readings. This allows you to establish several strategies to characterize a tank. Data collection strategies include:
- Measuring energy variations at a given point in the tank as a function of time.
- Mapping a tank by ‘walking’ the probe at a fixed depth under the surface of the tank. Click HERE to see an example figure obtained with the Ultrasonic Energy Meter.
- Comparing average energy from tank to tank, over the life of a tank, or unloaded versus loaded with parts to be cleaned.

- To profile the cavitation energy at an horizontal plane in a DI water tank.
- Method A tank measuring 13.5” long, by 9.5” wide, by 10” deep is used. This tank contains 5.85 gallons of DI water sonicated by a 40 kHz ultrasonic transducer rated at 500 watts.
- The transducer is 9” long, by 6.5” wide, by 3” deep. The 316 stainless steel box contains actually 5 transducers inside it operating at about 100 watts each.
- The tank is filled with 5.85 gallons of de-ionized water and sonicated for 30 minutes for de-gassing. The water temperature is recorded at 20° centigrade throughout the experiment. The water depth is 6.7”. The surface of the probe is kept parallel to the bottom of the tank at 3.7” from the top lip of the tank.
- Setting the cavitation meter in AUTO mode, the probe is located at one corner of the tank and run for 10 seconds. The probe is then re-located 0.5” away from its previous position in order to walk it along the X (longitudinal) axis at a fixed Y (latitude). This procedure is repeated until 560 data points have been obtained.
- The data is down-loaded 100 data points at a time to a PC using excel format.
- Discussion: This method of profiling cavitation in a tank can be useful in establishing the variations in energy density. It is also useful to obtain the average cavitation energy of the tank.
