Quasi-Static Piezo d33/d31 Meter

H.C. Materials Corporation (HCMC) also sells quasi-static piezo d33 Meters and d33/d31 Meters menufactured by Institute of Acoustics Chinese Academy of Sciences

The Model ZJ-3B/4B series quasi-static d33 Meters and Model ZJ-6B quasi-static piezo d33/d31 Meter are the special instruments for measuring piezoelectric constant d33 of various kind of piezoelectric materials, such as piezoelectric ceramics, crystals, and polymers. It also can be used for measuring equivalent piezoelectric constant d33' of arbitrarily cut piezoelectric crystals, such as lithium niobate, quartz and tourmaline. The measurable d33 value is wide with fine resolution, high reliability, simple and convenient operation. The measurable specimen’s size and shape are unrestricted, for example, disks, blocks, rings, tubes and semispherical shell, etc.; all of them can be measured. The measured value of d33 is displayed on a 3 1/2 digit meter and a 4 1/2 digit meter respectively.

In addition, ZJ-6B is provided with the adapter for measuring d31 of ceramic materials with suitable form and suitable size, such as tubes and rectangular bars,

So this instrument is indispensable to any laboratory concerned with assessment of materials, quality control in manufacture, research and development of piezoelectric materials.

ZJ-6B Model

The Model ZJ-3B/4B (improved type) is a new type of d33 Meter, and superior to Model ZJ-2 and old type ZJ-3B d33 meter in following especial respects:

  1. Make the Anti-EMI(electric magnetic interference) capability, stability and reliability more excellent.
  2. Make the measurable maximum d33 value up to 2000pC/N(ZJ-3B),or 4000pC/N(ZJ-4B).
  3. The Force Head is made of stainless steel, so as to protect from rust.

The Model ZJ-6B is a new type of piezo Meter, and superior to Model ZJ-2 and ZJ-3B meter in following respects especially.

  1. Make the Anti-EMI(electric magnetic interference) capability, stability and reliability more excellent.
  2. Make the measurable maximum d33 value up to 4000pC/N.
  3. The Force Head is made of stainless steel, so as to protect from rust.
  4. Provide the d31 adapter, d31 coefficient can be measured directly.

Features :

  1. Directly measures the piezo d33 constant of piezo materials in the range of 1 to 4000 pC/N. The polarity of the tested specimen is also indicated.
  2. Capable of evaluating a variety of ceramic size and shapes, discs, tubes, hemispheres etc., and single crystals and polymers.
  3. No technical expertise is required for measuring and only two operating controls: on/off switch and “zero”adjusting.
  4. Capable of stable measurement in severe EMI environment.
  5. Piezo voltage constant g33 is quickly obtained using the formula: g33=d33/e33T , Here e33T is the dielectric constant from the capacitance of the specimen measured with impedance meter or bridge.
  6. The ZJ-3B/4B d33 Meter acceptable maximum height of specimen up to 80 mm between probes.
  7. Test monitor output allows an empirical evaluation of potential flaws and defects by viewing the output signal waveform.
  8. The Force Head is made of stainless steel, so as to protect from rust.
  9. Improved the electronic circuit for protecting IC from discharge damage.
  10. Install d31 adapter (as a accessory, customer can order it) on the Force Head of Model ZJ-3B/4B, the d31 coefficient on piezoelectric tubes and bars can be measured directly.
