BS EN 60565:2007

What is BS EN 60565 - Calibration of hydrophones about? 

BS EN 60565 is an international standard that discusses the technical specifications of hydrophones. 

BS EN 60565 specifies methods for calibration of hydrophones or reversible transducers when used as a hydrophone, particularly in the frequency range from 0,01 Hz to 1 MHz. BS EN 60565 specifies the electrical measurement procedures as well. 

Who is BS EN 60565 - Calibration of hydrophones for?  

BS EN 60565 on calibration of hydrophones is relevant to: 

• Manufacturers of hydrophones and transducers 
• Manufacturers of calibrators 
• Manufacturers of coupler 
• Hydrologists 
• Testing authorities 

Why should you use BS EN 60565 - Calibration of hydrophones? 

Hydrophone is a transducer that produces electric signals in response to water borne acoustic signals. BS EN 60565 provides users with the principles for calibration. BS EN 60565 assists with several types of electrical measurement methods and frequency methods.  

BS EN 60565 describes the calibration of hydrophones in free field conditions by comparison with a standard hydrophone or by using a calibrated projector. BS EN 60565 describes the determination of sensitivity. 

Overall, BS EN 60565 is useful as it aids the hydrophones and calibration in the frequency range 0,01 Hz to 1 MHz, which can be beneficial for your business and can also help you to expand your business globally.
