Portable ultrasonic wattmeter for ultrasonic prob calibration

摘要

In our country, in many different brands and types of ultrasound devices are used very intensely in the health sector. However, these ultrasound devices do not pass a mandatory/legal or voluntarily technical measurements/controls. In order to verify the indicated performance and safety of the ultrasonic probes that is the most important part of ultrasound devices, measurements/controls are required to be done as per strong scientific parameters and standards. For this reason, Portable Ultrasonic Wattmeter device has been designed, manufactured and tested. The device works in the distilled water and probe tests are done by operating the probes in this water tank. In the installation system, powers of ultrasonic probes that have an approximate power range between 15 W and 150 W have been measured. In this paper, information will be given and experiences will be shared about the production of ultrasonic wattmeter that measures the power of ultrasonic probes as portable.
