Interlaboratory Comparisons of Hydrophone Calibration in the 3–500 kHz Frequency Range

  • INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A method and results are described for international interlaboratory comparisons of hydroacoustic measurement reference standards. The comparison was organized by the National Institute of Ocean Technology, India, with the participation of reference standards from Germany and Russia. Data are presented on the reference standard installations of the comparison participants and the measurement methods used, and the impact of water temperature on comparison results during calibration is discussed.
