Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy is a method for characterizing properties of

dispersed particles
. It is also known as acoustic spectroscopy.

There is an international standard for this method.[1][2]

Measurement of

heterogeneous systems such as emulsions and colloids. In the case of acoustic rheometers, the raw data are converted into extensional viscosity or volume viscosity
.

Instruments that employ ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy are referred to as Acoustic spectrometers.
