The common technique for determining spatial sound pressure fields is to scan the sound field pointwise, which is time-consuming and expensive and thus limits its application in the industry. Aluminum foil erosion method is cheap and easy to operate and has little effect on cavitation field, but it cannot be quantified. In this paper, aluminium foils were used to measure the distribution of the ultrasonic cavitation field in an ultrasonic cleaning vessel. Foil sample was dried, and black and white images were collected by the scanner image processing system and then imported into the MATLAB software. The MATLAB programs help to find out the position of the erosion point and calculate the ratio of the erosion area to the entire area. The erosion ratios can reflect the intensity of the cavitation, which means that the quantitative result has been achieved. Three-dimension erosion ratio data set was then built. The visualization of the cavitation field was realized by graphing the data in a spatial coordinate system using different colors to represent the variation of cavitation intensity. The distribution of the cavitation field on any planes can be derived by slicing the cavitation field. The result analysis shows that the spatial distribution regularity of the single transducer ultrasonic cavitation field can be derived and the reliability of the measure method can be verified in the mean time.
