Abstract

A piezoelectric element holder allows a piezoelectric crystal to be mounted with a single exposed surface. This permits more accurate estimates of applied coating weights and thicknesses to be obtained. The piezoelectric element is mounted via a removable cap and malleable seal that permit the element to be removed and replaced easily.
