Can I used to detect the small crack on egg using HCSR04 Ultrasound sensor?

Hello everybody,
Excuse me, i want to asking.
can I used to detect the small crack on egg using HCSR04 Ultrasound sensor?
thanks

No. The ultrasonic frequency is too low and the transducer is the wrong type.

 

To detect a crack this small you need a transducer operated at several Mega Hertz. This is possible -- Diaganostic ultrasound companies do this all the time.

For experimentation, using PVDF (Kynar) film transducers might work. I seem to remember reading long ago that they were used at a frequency of 500 MHz.

 

Are the eggs for eating? Are they chicken or duck? Have they been candled? How many and how often do you need to do the check? There are sensitive, non-automated ways.

I should have mentioned... Vibration at these high frequencies do not go through air. Even in water, the ultrasound is attenuated at the rate of about 1dB/cm/MHz.
