The non-linearity acoustic parameter (B/A) has been computed for six pure liquid metal alloys (Na,K, Rb, Cs, Pb and Sn), four liquid metal alloys (K-Rb, Na-Cs, Pb-Sn and Na-K) and other severalliquid metals at different temperatures. This parameter has been calculated by using three differentapproaches viz. Hartmann method, Ballou rule and Johnson et al. method. The input data requireddensity, sound speed and thermal expansivity were taken from literature. A comparative study hasbeen carried out and quite satisfactory results are obtained.
