instantaneous intensity
Replace the existing text of Note 1 by the following:
NOTE 1 Instantaneous intensity is the product of instantaneous acoustic pressure and particle velocity. It is
difficult to measure intensity in the ultrasound frequency range. For the measurement purposes referred to in this
International Standard and under conditions of sufficient distance from the external transducer aperture (at least
one transducer diameter, or an equivalent transducer dimension in the case of a non-circular transducer) the
instantaneous intensity can be approximated by the derived instantaneous intensity.
Replace the existing text of Note 2 by the following:
Instantaneous intensity is expressed in watts per square metre (W/m )
Add the following new definitions:
3.26
derived instantaneous intensity
approximation of the instantaneous intensity
For the measurement purposes referred to in this International Standard, and under
conditions of sufficient distance from the transducer (at least one transducer diameter, or an
equivalent transducer dimension in the case of a non-circular transducer) the derived
instantaneous intensity is determined by

I(t) =

where:
p(t) is the instantaneous acoustic pressure;

NOTE 1 For measurement purposes referred to in this International Standard, the derived instantaneous
intensity is an approximation of the instantaneous intensity.
NOTE 2 Increased uncertainty should be taken into account for measurements very close to the transducer.

3.32
transition distance
z
T
for a given longitudinal plane, the transition distance is defined based on the transducer
design (when known) or from measurement:
a) from design: the transition distance is the equivalent area of the ultrasonic
transducer aperture width divided by π times the effective wavelength, λ;
b) for measurements, the transition distance is the equivalent area of the source
aperture width divided by π times the effective wavelength.
NOTE 1 Using method a), an unapodized ultrasonic transducer with circular symmetry about the beam axis, the
2 2
equivalent area is πa , where a is the radius. Therefore the transition distance is z = a /λ. For the first example
T
of a square ultrasonic transducer, the equivalent area is (L ) , where L is the transducer aperture width in
TA TA
the longitudinal plane. Therefore, the transition distance for both orthogonal longitudinal planes containing the
sides or transducer aperture widths, is z = (L ) /(πλ). For the second example, for a rectangular ultrasonic
T TA
transducer with transducer aperture widths L and L , the equivalent area for the first linear transducer
TA1 TA2
aperture width for the purpose of calculating the transition distance for the associated longitudinal plane is
(L ) , where L is the transducer aperture width in this longitudinal plane. Therefore, the transition
TA1 TA1
distance for this plane is z = (L ) /(πλ). For the orthogonal longitudinal plane that contains the other
T1 TA1
transducer aperture width, L , the equivalent area for the other for the purpose of calculating the transition
TA2
distance for the associated longitudinal plane is (L ) , where L is the transducer aperture width in this
TA2 TA2
longitudinal plane. Therefore, the transition distance for this plane is z = (L ) /(πλ).
T2 TA2
NOTE 2 Using method b) for measurements in a longitudinal plane, the source aperture width, L , in the same
SA
plane is used in z = (L ) /(πλ).
T SA
NOTE 3 Transition distance is expressed in metre (m).
