Portable Ultrasonic Cavitation Meter OPCAV
OPCAV is a portable ultrasonic cavitation meter designed to measure two ranges of band of the probe signal:
- Band 20kHz – 50kHz for sonication signal level
- Band 400kHz – 1.2MHz for cavitation level
Broadbands allow for a large variety of applications. The high selectivity with channels high gain (up to 61 dB) allows to work with a wide range of input signal. Lightweight, compact design and battery power make it to be portable, easy to use meter of the ultrasonic waves.
All the functions of the device are set or activated manually by the keypad. Only ultrasound probe is required for correct operation. Before the first use, you must perform the calibration measurement. The measured values will be displayed relative to its results.
A rechargeable lithium-ion battery, charged via USB cable, powers OPCAV. The measurement results can be read by the USB interface (UART) with free software to operate the terminal. Greater ability to read and analyze the results of measurements gives a dedicated application "OPCAV" enabling the acquisition of up to 1000 measurements with a convenient presentation and the ability to load / save measurement results.
The idea of results representation in the device OPCAV is based on the percentage presentation of a difference between the current measurement value and calibration result, relative to the measurement range of the converter.
