ACOUSTICAL CELL FOR MATERIAL ANALYSIS

摘要

An acoustical cell for analysis of materials by measuring parameters of acoustical velocity, attenuation and/or resonance. The cell comprises a main frame and an electroacoustical transducer assembly. The main frame includes at least one interstice and has substantially parallel exterior surfaces that engage, in use, with walls to define a sample cavity into which a specimen for analysis is placed in use. The electroacoustical transducer assembly is acoustically coupled to at least one of the walls and comprises at least one electroacoustical transducer. Analysing means for analysing the output of the electroacoustical transducer assembly is also provided. A corresponding method is also provided.
