  • Patent number: 4934191
    Abstract: A method for electromagnetic ultrasonic conversion includes exerting dynamic-mechanical forces upon particles of an electrically conductive material of a test sample by superimposing quasi-static magnetic and electromagnetic high-frequency fields of a transmission converter for generating ultrasonic vibrations when transmitting. Electrical fields are induced by waves arriving in the test sample resulting in vibrations of the particles of material inductively affecting the fields of a receiver converter when receiving. The excitation of the vibrations when transmitting and the induction of electrical fields when receiving are effected by Lorentz and magnetic forces as well as by magnetostriction forces if the test sample is ferromagnetic. Fill level and bubble formation are monitored in enclosures in the form of containers and pipelines for liquid, by coupling a transmission converter and a receiver converter to an enclosure wall.
