In this paper we introduce our method of measuring the ultrasound velo
city and attenuation simultaneously in magnetic pulsed fields. After e
xplaining the ultrasound setup for magnetic pulsed held experiments th
e resolution in sound velocity that is obtained with this new system i
s discussed. We will compare the theoretical values with the ones dete
rmined in ultrasound test experiments. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
