Sound is Created by a Source of Vibration

Think of the black line above as the edge view of a metal plate

Sound is Created by a Source of Vibration

Now Imagine an “Ultrasonic Transducer” Attached to the Metal Plate

Ultrasonic Transducer

Sound is Created by a Source of Vibration

The Ultrasonic Transducer Vibrates and Transmits Vibration to the Metal Plate

As the tank bottom raises, it pushes against the liquid thereby

compressing it. The blue represents an area of “compression”.

©Cleaning Technologies Group

The “compression” continues to travel through the liquid away from the source of vibration.

As the tank bottom lowers it “pulls” on the liquid creating an area of negative pressure

or “rarefaction”

©Cleaning Technologies Group

Continued vibration generates areas of

compression and rarefaction radiating through the liquid

As the rarefactions and compressions of the sound waves pass by, the gauge sees alternating negative and positive pressure

A vibrating source transmits sound waves to a liquid.

Sound waves, consisting of areas of rarefaction (negative pressure) and compression (positive pressure), radiate through the liquid away from the source of vibration.
