Piezoelectric sensors of the volumetric type are widely used in the measurement of rapidly changing pressures. This is explained by their lack of inertia, the possibility of obtaining with their help quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the quantity being measured and linearity of the piezoelectric effect. ...

The problem of studying physical phenomena during an explosion is currently very topical. Some processes during an explosion have durations so short that only electronic equipment can record them. The presence of a pronounced piezoelectric effect in some crystals, as well as in all ferroelectrics, makes it possible to develop low-inertia methods for measuring pressures, including shock wave pressure. Piezoelectric sensors have been used to study shock waves both in our country and abroad. ...
