A device for absolute measurement of sound intensity. It is a mica or glass disk about 5 mm in diameter and 0.1 mm thick, suspended from a thin quartz or platinum wire with a diameter of 3 to 5 μm. When sound waves strike this disk from an oblique direction (45 degrees), a moment proportional to the sound intensity causes the disk to rotate, and it comes to a stop when it is balanced with the moment caused by the twist of the quartz wire that is suspending it. The angle of twist at this time can be measured by magnifying it with a mirror attached to the wire, and the sound intensity can be calculated.

音の強さの絶対測定をする装置。直径5mm,厚さ0.1mm程度の雲母またはガラスの円板で,これを直径3~5μmの細い石英線または白金線でつるして使われる。この円板に斜め方向(45度)から音波があたると,音の強さに比例したモーメントによって円板が回転し,これをつるした石英線などのねじれによるモーメントとつりあったところで静止する。このときのねじれの角度を,線にはりつけた鏡によって拡大して測定すれば,音の強さが求められる。
