Journal Article · · Measurement Techniques
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00991122· OSTI ID:263355

A description is given of the construction and testing of a pressure transducer for measuring shock wave parameters in water, as applied to lithotripters and other focused systems. The sensitive element is made from a PVDF piezofilm, with a working area of 2 mm diameter. The transducer sensitivity is 0.2 V/MPa, and the rise time is not greater than 50 nsec.
