2010 IEEE Symposium on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ISIEA 2010), October 3-5, 2010, Penang, Malaysia Detection of Small Gas Bubble using Ultrasonic Transmission-mode Tomography System Nor Muzakkir Nor Ayob, Mohd Hafiz Fazalul Rahiman, Zulkarnay Zakaria, Sazali Yaacob Tomography Imaging Research Group, School of Mechatronic Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, 02600 Arau, Perlis, Malaysia. normuzakkir@ Ruzairi Abdul Rahim Process Tomography Research Group (PROTOM), Control and Instrumentation Engineering Department, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 Skudai, Johor, Malaysia. ruzairi@fke.utm.my Abstract鈥擳his paper presents the development of an Detection of bubble is also a requirement in many ultrasonic transmission-mode tomography system for the industrial application which includes filling operations in detection of small gas bubble using higher frequency the paint, detergents, food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical ultrasonic sensors. The selection of the sensors is important industries where bubble may degrade the product [3]. and must be suitable to the application design. Optimizing the harvesting process and transportation in Consideration on the natural limitation of ultrasonic wave is also noted as the higher the frequency of the ultrasonic petrochemical industry also requires the detection of transducer, the better the sensitivity but lower penetration
