Ultrasonic Pulse Transmission Tests: Datasets - Test Series 3, Reference Tests on Air

Description

Abstract (English)

The test series was created to receive information about the impact of the behaviour of two different piezoelectric shear wave sensors on the measurement results of ultrasonic pulse transmission tests. The approach for the test series was to vary the parameters pulse-width and the shear-wave-sensor-type. This results in a two-dimensional test parameter grid (pulse-width versus shear-wave-sensor-type). Tests were performed for each grid point in order to receive information needed to optimize the pulse width, but also a possible dependency between material and sensor behaviour. The material tested was the air of the laboratory environment. The test method used was the ultrasonic pulse transmission method with combined compression- and shear wave measurements. All test data and metadata are summarized into datasets using GNU Octave's open binary file format.
