120 - 12V 0.5 - 10MHZ 200MW DIGITAL WATTMETER by BC Group International, Inc. (BC Biomedical)

Product Overview
Key highlights
The BC Biomedical USP-100SP Digital Wattmeter is engineered for precise measurement of ultrasound power output from diagnostic and therapeutic transducers, utilizing the radiant force method. Its digital readout, integrated transducer holder, and NIST traceable calibration ensure reliable performance for both continuous and pulsed power applications in clinical settings. The Ultrasound Wattmeter, Model USP 100SP, is designed to measure the ultrasound power output of diagnostic or therapeutic transducers up to 30 watts. The principle of measurement is the radiant force method. The USP 100SP uses a positioning clamp to hold the transducer in de gassed water above a conical target. The ultrasonic energy passes through the water to reflect off the target and is then absorbed by the rubber lining. The radiant power is directly proportional to the total downward force (weight) on the target. This weight is then transferred through the target support assembly to the electromechanical load cell inside the scale. The cell is in a computer controlled feedback loop and produces a digital readout in watts of power or grams of force. The choice of units is selected by front panel pushbuttons. The USP 100SP is supplied with a plug in 120 VAC to 12VDC 400 mA adapter (using another adapter not rated the same may damage unit). The USP 100SP has a display resolution of ±50 mill watts.
