BS EN 62092:2002, IEC 62092:2001

Applies to - hydrophones employing piezoelectric sensor elements, designed to measure the pulsed and continuous-wave ultrasonic fields generated by ultrasonic equipment; - hydrophones used for measurements made in water and in the frequency range between 15 MHz and 40 MHz; - hydrophones with or without an integral amplifier; - hydrophones with a circular piezoelectrically active element. Specifies - relevant hydrophone characteristics; - methods of determining directional response and hydrophone sensitivity based on relative or comparative measurements; and describes - absolute hydrophone calibration methods. Recommendations and references to accepted literature are made for the various relative and absolute calibration methods in the frequency range covered by this International Standard.
