    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a conductivity value of a measurement medium using a conductivity sensor. The method includes providing a conductivity sensor with at least one transmitting unit, at least one receiving unit, and a control unit having a storage module, and transmitting a stimulation signal into the measurement medium at the transmitting unit by the control unit. The method also includes receiving a detection signal at the receiving unit, determining a signal quality indicator by the control unit based on the detection signal, and determining a conductivity signal corresponding to the detection signal. The method further includes storing the conductivity signal, determining a dynamic factor by the control unit based on the conductivity signal, filtering the conductivity signal using a filter function depending on the determined signal quality indicator and the dynamic factor, and outputting a filtered measured value of the filtered conductivity signal.

    摘要: A method for the quality inspection of an ultrasonic transducer and an ultrasonic sensor comprising an ultrasonic transducer and carrying out the quality inspection method are described. The ultrasonic transducer comprises a housing having an electrically conductive layer extending at least over an inner surface of a housing wall of the housing, and a piezoelectric transducer arranged in the housing, the end face of which equipped with an electrode is connected to the electrically conductive layer by means of a dielectric coupling layer. According to the method, at least one quality inspection of the ultrasonic transducer is carried out, in which a capacitance of a capacitor comprising the electrode, the electrically conductive layer serving as the counter electrode, and the dielectric coupling layer as a dielectric is measured and a quality defect of the ultrasonic transducer is determined if the measured capacitance is outside a specified capacitance range.
