BM740

BM740 - Lead Zirconate Titanate

Overview
BM740 is a modified lead zirconate composition with low dielectric constant, high QM and good temperature stability.

This material exhibits very low frequency drift over normal working temperature, and the ageing of permittivity and phase distortion of the electrical resonance circuit are extremely low.

Features

  • High coupling coefficient
  • High piezoelectric charge coefficient

Applications

  • Depth sounders
  • Communication
  • Level, flow measurement
  • Flaw detection (NDE)
  • Accelerometers
  • NDT measurement
  • Transducers
