BS EN 60500:2017 specifies the relevant characteristics and properties of hydrophones in the
frequency range 1 Hz to 500 kHz, and specifies how to report these characteristics. It does
not cover performance requirements for specific hydrophone types, or for specific hydrophone
applications. However, guidance on the choice of a hydrophone with appropriate performance
for a specific application is given in an informative annex.This document is applicable to:hydrophones employing piezoelectric sensor elements, designed to respond to sound
pressure in water and measure underwater acoustical signals;hydrophones with or without an integral pre-amplifier.Cross References:ISO 266:1997Guide ISO/IEC 98-3:2008ANSI S1.20:2012GOST 27993-88GB/T 4128:1995IEC 60565:2006IEC 60866:1987IEC 62127-3:2007 Ed 1ISO 18405:2017ISO 80000-8:2007IEC 60050-801 Amd.1 Ed.2.0All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
