Q: What materials can ultrasonic sensors detect?

Update Time:2025/10/16

A:


Ultrasonic sensors can detect a variety of materials, mainly including:

· Metals (such as steel, aluminum, etc.)

· Plastics (such as PVC, ABS, PE, etc.)

· Glass (including transparent or frosted glass)

· Liquid surfaces (such as water, oil, chemical solutions)

· Paper, cloth, and wood

· Flexible materials such as ceramics, rubber, foam, etc.

Its advantage is that it is not affected by the target color, transparency, or surface gloss, and is very suitable for measuring objects with irregular shapes, diverse materials, or complex optical properties.
