Abstract

The results of an interlaboratory comparison of hydrophone calibration techniques in the frequency range 1-10 MHz are reported. Two membrane hydrophones were circulated to six laboratories, and each laboratory determined the end-of-cable loaded sensitivities using their normal calibration methods; these included optical interferometry, planar scanning, reciprocity combined with time-delay spectrometry, and suspended-sphere radiometry. After converting the results to end-of-cable open-circuit sensitivities, in most cases agreement between the various values was within ±10 percent at all frequencies.
