Abstract

Applications for high-power ultrasonics are widespread, and aspects such as cleaning are well established in the manufacturing industry, particularly in automotive, aerospace, medicine, and semiconductors. Yet, there remains a long-standing deficit of standardized methods and parameters for users to describe cavitating systems, and this impacts on system design, realization, optimization, and quality assurance. This chapter describes the measurement and characterization approaches that have been applied to cavitating systems so that users may compare devices and approaches. It also considers the present state of the art and discusses standardization, which will ultimately provide a basis for full commercial exploitation of power ultrasound.
