Piezoelectric sensors - Part 1: Generic specifications

Scope

IEC 63041-1 ED3 applies to piezoelectric sensors of resonator, delay-line and non-acoustic types, which are used in physical and engineering sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, medical and environmental sciences, etc.
The purpose of this document is to specify the terms and definitions for piezoelectric sensors, and from a technological perspective, to make sure that users understand the state-of-art piezoelectric sensors and how to use them correctly. The terms and definitions defined in this document are used in all parts of the IEC 63041 series.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Some sources given in Clause Clause 3 have been updated based on IEC TS 61994-5:2023;
b) quasi-static piezoelectric sensor element (3.1.4) has been added.
