  Ultrasonic welding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ultrasonic welding is an industrial technique whereby high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are used to weld objects together, usually plastics, and especially for joining dissimilar materials.
Ultrasonic welding of plastics causes local melting of the plastic due to absorption of vibration energy.
Ultrasonic welding of metals is not due to heating, but instead occurs due to high-pressure dispersion of surface oxides and local motion of the materials.

 Ultrasound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ultrasonic cleaners, sometimes mistakenly called supersonic cleaners, are used at frequencies from 20-40 kHz for jewellery, lenses and other optical parts, watches, dental instruments, surgical instruments and industrial parts.
The main mechanism for cleaning action in an ultrasonic cleaner is the energy released from the collapse of millions of microscopic cavitation events occurring near the dirty surface.
The basic principle is that an ultrasonic pulse is generated in a particular direction.

 Ultrasonic Flow Meters
Ultrasonic Flow Meter: An ultrasonic flow meter is a device which measures volumetric flow and is non intrusive.
Ultrasonic sound is transmitted into a pipe with flowing liquids, and the discontinuities reflect the ultrasonic wave with a slightly different frequency that is directly proportional to the rate of flow of the liquid (Figure 1).
As noted, the basic ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter requires that the liquid to be measured contain a minimum of at least 100 PPM of suspended solids or bubbles at least 100 microns or larger in size.

 Ultrasonic Cleaning Process
A transducer emits ultrasonic vibrations by rapidly expanding and contracting in resonance with the frequency of the generator output when it equals the primary operating frequency of the transducer According to this law a heavier faster accelerating transducer will produce more cleaning force than a lighter, slower accelerating transducer.
Ultrasonic cleaners come in three categories, First; the small toy like systems that are sold by companies for cleaning contact lenses, etc. These are very light duty cleaners with small transducers and very simple generators that are not very efficient.
In an ultrasonic system there is a small power loss in the transducer[ they will warm up considerable from the friction of moving rapidly] There is also a loss in the energy required to penetrate and move the tank bottom.

 Multiple Frequency Ultrasonic Cleaners
Zenith Ultrasonics is the original inventor, and dual patent holder, of the first multiple frequency ultrasonic cleaner that can be used for both high-technology parts cleaning, AND industrial cleaning applications.
Low frequency ultrasonic cleaners produce cleaning action which is more powerful, but less evenly distributed in the cleaning tank, leading to "hot spots" of activity which may lead to inconsistent cleaning results, and even damage to highly polished aluminum parts.
By submerging small strips of aluminum foil into an ultrasonic bath and holding the foil VERY still, holes will be created in the foil at ultrasonic hot spot locations, clearly indicating how evenly distributed the ultrasonic power, and powerful the scrubbing action at that particular tank location.
