Title: Sonar Transducer Calibration in a High-Pressure Tube
Abstract: A unique tube facility for the calibration of sonar transducers under hydrostatic pressures to 8500 psi is described. The pressure vessel consists of the modified liner from a 16-in. gun. The liner is 50 ft long and has an inside diameter of 15 in. An active-impedance principle is applied to establish plane progressive waves within the tube. Resonant transducers can be calibrated in the frequency range 100–1500 Hz; nonresonant, hard transducers can be calibrated in the range 40–1500 Hz.
