The Model YE***0 d*3 meter is a special instrument directly to measure piezoelectric constant d*3 values of piezoelectric ceramics, polymers, and single crystals. This meter can also measure d*3 value in various single crystal materials, such as lithium niobate, quartz, and tourmaline. This meter is capable of measuring d*3 value over a very large range, at high resolution, and with a high degree of reliability. The measurement is quickly, and easily made with a minimum of training required. Specimens of a variety of sizes and shapes can easily be accommodated and measured. For example: d*3 value of disks, blocks, rings, tubes and semispherical shells can be easily measured and displayed on the Model YE***0 d*3 meter. Measuring d*3 value is displayed on a 3 1/2 inch digital meter. This instrument is invaluable as a tool for quality assurance of piezoelectric materials, production in-line inspection, or for research applications.
