This part of IEC 60565 specifies methods and procedures for free-field calibration of hydrophones, as well as individual electroacoustic transducers that can be used as hydrophones (receivers) and/or projectors (source transducers). Two general types of calibration are covered within this document: absolute calibration using the method of threetransducer spherical-wave reciprocity, and relative calibration by comparison with a reference
device which has already been the subject of an absolute calibration.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
