Ultrasonic baths or ultrasonic tanks are very useful and efficient electrical devices designed to quickly, effectively, and cheaply clean all surfaces of objects from various contaminants, using minimal amounts of detergent and electricity, without manual labor. The range of applications for ultrasonic baths is very broad. Ultrasonic baths can be used in households, workshops, medical offices, laboratories, or industrial processes. Ultrasonic baths are named after the ultrasound generated by their generator, whose frequency is above the upper limit of human hearing (greater than 20 kHz).
In our language, the terms ultrasonic baths, ultrasonic tanks, and ultrasonic bathtubs are commonly used for these devices. There are no clear differences in the use of these terms in the literature. Some manufacturers classify these electrical devices by volume and purpose, so the term ultrasonic tanks is used for devices with smaller volume and power (commonly used in laboratories, small workshops, and service centers), while the term ultrasonic baths is used for larger and more powerful devices. Almost as a rule, the term ultrasonic bathtubs is used for ultrasonic cleaning devices in the industry.
