Monitoring your Ultrasonic Bath will Improve its Productivity

Ultrasonic cleaning employs high frequency sound waves, which are above the range of human hearing, those waves cause microscopic gas bubbles in the cleaning solution to expand to their limit. At this point, enlarged gas bubbles suddenly collapse or implode, giving off tiny but powerful pressure waves.

This process is cavitation and the waves emitted by cavitation generate an erosive action. Together with the cleaning solvent, this action creates the desired cleaning effect. Cavitation has been described as countless tiny scrubbers that force dirt and grease from parts immersed in the cleaning liquid.

Over time, the efficiency of your ultrasonic bath deteriorates, as a direct result the duration of the same process is increased to get the same results - To help you supervise the ultrasonic energy in your ultrasonic cleaning tank MRC developed an ultrasonic cavitation intensity meter which you can use to determine most efficient baskets and work fixtures, compare energy from tank to tank and detect loss of ultrasonic energy which will help you keeping your cleaning and manufacturing processes' repeatability – no other instrument can help you observe this deterioration.

The MRC Cavitation Intensity Meter requires no preparation before it is ready for use. Because of its all solid-state circuitry, the Model Cav-Meter requires no warm-up time. Its operation is easy for even non-technical personnel and the results are read directly from the meter with no need for formulas or other interpretive calculations, the measurement of ultrasonic energy is simply done by dipping the cavitation meter probe into an ultrasonic tank.
