Measure the impedance with a gain-phase analyzer if you have access to one.
To test a piezoelectric sensor, you can apply a known force or pressure to the sensor and measure the corresponding electrical output. This can be done using a multimeter or an oscilloscope. You can also check for continuity in the sensor's wiring and inspect for any physical damage that may affect its performance.
Depends what kind of sensor you are asking about. Piezo properties are used in quite a few sensors.
For an acoustic sensor operating at 20 Hz, a low-frequency sensor platform such as a piezoelectric sensor would be most appropriate. Piezoelectric sensors are well-suited for low-frequency applications like 20 Hz due to their sensitivity and ability to detect small vibrations at such frequencies. Additionally, piezoelectric sensors offer good signal-to-noise ratio and durability, making them ideal for continuous monitoring applications.
A knock sensor is a piezoelectric device that senses the knocks produced in the engine. The knock sensor tells de computer to retard the timing in order to prevent piston damage and/or blown head gaskets.

an 02 sensor is a piezoelectric sensor which creates a voltage based on the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust. this lets the engines computer know how rich or lean the engine is running and adjust accordingly
how to test crank sensor
To test an abs sensor for a Lexus ES you will need to use a multimeter. The multimeter will determine if the abs sensor works or not.
The detonation sensor ( knock sensor ) really cannot be checked by the home mechanic it is either good or bad. It consists of a pressure sensing piezoelectric element that converts pressure differences into electrical signals that can be read by the computer.
The piezoelectric microphone was invented in 1917 by Aleksandr W. Gurvich and his colleagues. They discovered the piezoelectric effect in Rochelle salt crystals, leading to the development of the first piezoelectric microphone.
Probably not as the emissions test (Smog test) is carried out by inserting a sensor into the exhaust pipe.
Many piezoelectric crystals can be used in water with no issues.
