PD IEC TS 63081:2019

What is PD IEC TS 63081- Ultrasonic properties of materials about? 

PD IEC TS 63081 is a safety standard on ultrasonics. 

PD IEC TS 63081: 

• Defines key quantities relevant to ultrasonic materials characterization 
• Specifies methods for direct measurement of many key ultrasonic materials parameters 

PD IEC TS 63081 is applicable to all measurements of properties of passive acoustic materials underdrive conditions that are not subject to nonlinear acoustic propagation. 

Note: There are materials properties that may be of interest in a nonlinear drive regime, these are currently outside the scope of PD IEC TS 63081. 

Who is PD IEC TS 63081- Ultrasonic properties of materials for?  

PD IEC TS 63081 on methods for the characterization of the ultrasonic properties of materials is relevant to: 

• Ultrasonic testing authorities 
• Electromagnetic engineers 
• Manufacturers of electrical devices  
• Manufacturers of cars 
• Manufacturers of transducers 
• Manufacturers of ultrasonic hydrophones 

Why should you use PD IEC TS 63081- Ultrasonic properties of materials? 

Many ultrasonic measurement standards contain requirements for the properties of acoustic materials to be used to construct the measurement equipment. 

PD IEC TS 63081 seeks to address the shortcomings by providing: 

• A clear unambiguous definition of the key quantities of interest during materials characterization 
• A discussion of similar terms and how they may relate to the key quantities 
• Recommended experimental methods for determining the values of key quantities 

Overall, PD IEC TS 63081 is useful as it provides measurements that are conceptually some of the simplest materials characterization measurements that can be made.
