BS EN IEC 63041‑1 is the first part of the BS EN IEC 63041 multi-series that focuses on piezoelectric sensors. BS EN IEC 63041‑1 applies to piezoelectric sensors of the resonator, delay-line, and non-acoustic types, which are used in physics and engineering sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, medical and environmental sciences, etc.
The purpose of BS EN IEC 63041‑1 is to specify the terms and definitions for piezoelectric sensors and to make sure from a technological perspective that users understand the state-of-art piezoelectric sensors and how to use them correctly.
BS EN IEC 63041‑1 on generic specifications of piezoelectric sensors is useful for:
A piezoelectric sensor converts physical parameters - for example, acceleration, strain, or pressure into an electrical charge which can then be measured. They are highly sensitive and very small in size making them well suited to everyday objects.
BS EN IEC 63041‑1 covers electronic components which can detect physical quantities as a change in its frequency, phase, delay, electrical charge, resistance, Q-value, bandwidth, etc.
BS EN IEC 63041‑1 describes methods of utilizing piezoelectric sensor elements and cells of the resonator and delay-line types.
BS EN IEC 63041‑1 ensures that you are well informed about piezoelectric sensors
