23、LTRASONICS HYDROPHONES Part 1: Measurement and characterization of medical ultrasonic fields up to 40 MHz FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The
24、 object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifi
25、cations (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations l
26、iaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters exp
27、ress, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Commi
28、ttees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC Nation
29、al Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no m
30、arking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, serv
31、ants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publicati
32、on, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility

International Standard IEC 62127-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 87: Ultrasonics. IEC 62127-1, IEC 62127-2 and IEC 6

The text of this standard is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 87/352/CDV 87/371/RVC Full information on the
35、voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. 6 62127-1 IEC:2007(E) This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts of IEC 62127 series, published under the general title Ultrasonic

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data relat
37、ed to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed; withdrawn; replaced by a revised edition; or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. 62127-1 IEC:2007(E) 7 INTRODUCTION The main purpose of this part of IEC 62127 is to define v
38、arious acoustic parameters that can be used to specify and characterize ultrasonic fields propagating in liquids, and, in particular, water, using hydrophones. Measurement procedures are outlined that may be used to determine these parameters. Specific device related measurement standards, for examp
39、le IEC 61689, IEC 61157, IEC 61847 or IEC 62359, can refer to this standard for appropriate acoustic parameters. The philosophy behind this standard is the specification of the acoustic field in terms of acoustic pressure parameters, acoustic pressure being the primary measurement quantity when piez
40、oelectric hydrophones are used to characterize the field. Of course, if other measurement devices come into use in the future, a new standard with additional definitions and procedures will be necessary. Examples of such devices would be thermistors, thermocouples or optical hydrophones. Intensity p
41、arameters are specified in this standard, but these are regarded as derived quantities that are meaningful only under certain assumptions related to the ultrasonic field being measured. 8 62127-1 IEC:2007(E) ULTRASONICS HYDROPHONES Part 1: Measurement and characterization of medical ultrasonic field
42、s up to 40 MHz 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 62127 specifies methods of use of calibrated hydrophones for the measurement in liquids of acoustic fields generated by ultrasonic medical equipment operating in the frequency range up to 40 MHz. The objectives of this standard are: to define a grou
43、p of acoustic parameters that can be measured on a physically sound basis; to define a second group of parameters that can be derived under certain assumptions from these measurements, and called derived intensity parameters; to define a measurement procedure that may be used for the determination o
44、f acoustic pressure parameters; to define the conditions under which the measurements of acoustic parameters can be made in the frequency range up to 40 MHz using calibrated hydrophones; to define procedures for correcting, for limitations caused by the use of hydrophones with finite bandwidth and f
45、inite active element size. NOTE 1 Throughout this standard, SI units are used. In the specification of certain parameters, such as beam areas and intensities, it may be convenient to use decimal multiples or submultiples. For example beam area may be specified in cm2and intensities in W/cm2or mW/cm2
46、. NOTE 2 The hydrophone as defined may be of a piezoelectric or an optic type. The introduction however implies that optical hydrophones are not covered. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
