Abstract

The state of sediment can be estimated based on an initial power supply frequency at which a diaphragm resonates in an initial state in which sediment is not accumulated and a power supply frequency at which the diaphragm resonates after the sediment is accumulated, the state of the sediment can be estimated even in a stage in which the sediment is slightly accumulated on the diaphragm and a zero-point shift does not occur.
