APC 850 Piezo Material and Piezo Ceramics in Medical Applications
APC offers a variety of piezoelectric materials (PZT) to their customers. APC’s lead zirconate titanate 850 material is manufactured in the USA with the highest purity raw materials available on the market.
For sensing applications, APC 850 is the ideal piezo material because of its unique mechanical and electrical properties:
– high dielectric constant
– high coupling factor
– high charge sensitivity
– high density with fine grain structure
– high Curie point
– clean, noise-free, frequency response
APC 850 is an excellent material for flow or level sensors, such as ultrasonic or doppler flow meters, gas flow sensors, and ultrasonic level sensors, for ultrasonic NDT / NDE applications, or for accurate inspections of automotive, structural, or aerospace products (construction materials, structural welds, transmission lines, steel storage tanks).
APC 850 is also ideal for high performance transducers for medical imaging applications.
