WG 13 - TC 49/WG 13

IEC 63041-1:2021 applies to piezoelectric sensors of resonator, delay-line and non-acoustic types, which are used in physical and engineering sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, medical and environmental sciences, etc. The purpose of this document is to specify the terms and definitions for piezoelectric sensors, and to make sure from a technological perspective that users understand the state-of-art piezoelectric sensors and how to use them correctly. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- the new terms "piezoelectric sensor system" and "wireless SAW sensor system" and their definitions have been added;
- new types of sensor modules and sensor system have been added;
- some symbols of sensor elements are added in Clause 4;
- a new Figure B.3 has been added in Annex B;
- Annex C has been added.

IEC 63041-3:2020 is applicable to piezoelectric physical sensors mainly used in the field of process control, wireless monitoring, dynamics, thermodynamics, vacuum engineering, and environmental sciences. This document provides users with technical guidelines as well as basic knowledge of common physical sensors.
Piezoelectric sensors covered herein are those applied to the detection and measurement of physical quantities such as force, pressure, torque, viscosity, temperature, film thickness, acceleration, vibration, and tilt angle.

IEC TS 61994-5:2019(E) gives the terms and definition for sensors representing the state of the art, which are intended for manufacturing piezoelectric elements, cells and the modules.

IEC 63041-2:2017 is applicable to piezoelectric chemical sensors mainly used in the field of biological, medical, gas and environmental sciences. It provides users with technical guidelines on biochemical sensors as well as basic knowledge of common chemical sensors.

IEC 63041-1:2017 applies to piezoelectric sensors of resonator, delay-line and non‑acoustic types, which are used in physical and engineering sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, medical and environmental sciences, etc. The purpose of this document is to specify the terms and definitions for the piezoelectric sensors, and to make sure from a technological perspective that users understand the state‑of-art piezoelectric sensors and how to use them correctly.
