31、exist for the determination of the total emitted power of ultrasonic transducers (1, 2, 31, see also Annex C). The purpose of this International Standard is to establish standard methods of measurement of ultrasonic power in liquids in the lower megahertz frequency range based on the measurement of
32、the radiation force using a gravimetric balance. The great advantage of radiation force measurements is that a value for the total radiated power is obtained without the need to integrate field data over the cross-section of the radiated sound beam. This standard identifies the sources of errors and
33、 describes a systematic step-by-step procedure to assess overall measurement uncertainty as well as the precautions that should be undertaken and uncertainties that should be taken into account while performing power measurements. Basic safety requirements for ultrasonic physiotherapy devices are id
34、entified in IEC 60601-2-5 and make reference to IEC 61689, which specifies the need for acoustic power measurements with an uncertainty better than 15 % at a level of confidence of 95 %. Considering the usual degradation of accuracy in the practical application of this standard, reference measuremen
35、t methods need to be established with uncertainties better than 7 %. Ultrasonic diagnostic device declaration requirements including acoustic power are specified in other IEC standards, as for example in IEC 61157. The measurement of acoustic power accurately and repeatably using a radiation force b
36、alance as defined in this standard is influenced by a number of practical problems. As a guide to the user, additional information is provided in Annex A using the same section and clause numbering as the main body. 1Numbers in square brackets refer to the Bibliography.

37、3 7 ULTRASONICS POWER MEASUREMENT RADIATION FORCE BALANCES AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method of determining the total emitted acoustic power of ultrasonic transducers based on the use of a radiation force balance; establishes general principles for t
38、he use of radiation force balances in which an obstacle (target) intercepts the sound field to be measured; establishes limitations of the radiation force method related to cavitation and temperature rise; establishes quantitative limitations of the radiation force method in relation to diverging an
39、d focused beams; provides information on estimating the acoustic power for diverging and focused beams using the radiation force method; provides information on assessment of overall measurement uncertainties. This International Standard is applicable to: the measurement of ultrasonic power up to 1
40、W based on the use of a radiation force balance in the frequency range from 0,5 MHz to 25 MHz; the measurement of ultrasonic power up to 20 W based on the use of a radiation force balance in the frequency range 0,75 MHz to 5 MHz; the measurement of total ultrasonic power in well-collimated, divergin
41、g and focused ultrasonic fields; the use of radiation force balances of the gravimetric type or force feedback type. (See also Clause A.1) NOTE 1 A focused beam is converging in the pre-focal range and diverging beyond focus. NOTE 2 Ultrasonic power measurement in the high intensity therapeutic ultr
42、asound (HITU) range, i.e. beyond 1 W or 20 W, respectively, is dealt with in the future IEC 62555. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

44、ument, the following terms and definitions apply. BS EN 61161:2013 8 61161 IEC:2013 3.1 acoustic streaming bulk fluid motion initiated by a sound field 3.2 free field sound field in a homogeneous isotropic medium whose boundaries exert a negligible effect on the sound waves SOURCE: IEC 60050-801:199

46、 watt (W). 3.4 radiation force acoustic radiation force F time-average force acting on a body in a sound field and caused by the sound field, excluding the component due to acoustic streaming; or, more generally: time-average force (excluding the component due to acoustic streaming) in a sound field
47、, appearing at the boundary surface between two media of different acoustic properties, or within a single attenuating medium Note 1 to entry: Radiation force, acoustic radiation force, is expressed in newton (N). 3.5 radiation pressure acoustic radiation pressure radiation force per unit area Note
48、1 to entry: This term is widely used in the literature. However, strictly speaking, the radiation force per unit area is a tensor quantity 4 and it should be referred to as the acoustic radiation stress tensor when a strict scientific terminology is to be used. The integral quantity “acoustic radiat
49、ion force“ is generally preferred in this International Standard. Whenever at some places, the term “acoustic radiation pressure“ appears it is to be understood as the negative value of the normal radiation stress in the direction of the field axis. Note 2 to entry: Radiation pressure, acoustic radiation pressure, is expressed in pascal (Pa). 3.6 target device specially designed to intercept substantially all of the ultrasonic field and to serve as
