(Main)Underwater acoustics - Hydrophones - Properties of hydrophones in the frequency range 1 Hz to 500 kHz
Underwater acoustics - Hydrophones - Properties of hydrophones in the frequency range 1 Hz to 500 kHz
IEC 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. Provides guidance on the choice of a hydrophone with appropriate performance for a specific application. This standard 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. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - the format and scope of IEC 60500 have been changed to be compatible with other IEC standards; - the upper limit of the frequency range of hydrophones has been expanded.
Unterwasserakustik - Hydrophone - Eigenschaften von Hydrophonen im Frequenzbereich von 1 Hz bis 500 kHz
Acoustique sous-marine - Hydrophones - Propriétés des hydrophones dans la bande de fréquences de 1 Hz à 500 kHz
L'IEC 60500:2017 spécifie les caractéristiques et les propriétés pertinentes des hydrophones dans la bande de fréquences de 1 Hz à 500 kHz, ainsi que la manière de déclarer ces caractéristiques. Cette norme donne des lignes directrices relatives au choix d’un hydrophone présentant des performances appropriées pour une application spécifique. Le présent document est applicable aux: - hydrophones employant des éléments sensibles piézoélectriques conçus pour répondre à la pression acoustique dans l’eau et mesurer les signaux acoustiques sous-marins; - hydrophones avec ou sans préamplificateur intégré. Cette nouvelle édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: - le format et le domaine d’application de l’IEC 60500 ont été modifiés de manière à les rendre compatibles avec d'autres normes IEC; - la limite supérieure de la bande de fréquences des hydrophones a été étendue.
Podvodna akustika - Hidrofoni - Lastnosti hidrofonov v frekvenčnem območju od 1 Hz do 500 kHz (IEC 60500:2017)
Ta dokument določa ustrezne značilnosti in lastnosti hidrofonov v frekvenčnem območju od 1 Hz do 500 kHz in določa, kako poročati o teh značilnostih. Ne zajema zahtev glede zmogljivosti za določene vrste hidrofonov ali za njihovo specifično uporabo. Kljub temu so v informativnem dodatku opredeljene smernice za izbiro hidrofona z ustrezno zmogljivostjo za določeno uporabo.
Ta dokument se uporablja za:
• hidrofone s piezoelektričnimi senzornimi elementi, ki so zasnovani tako, da reagirajo na zvočni tlak v vodi in merijo podvodne zvočne signale;
• hidrofone z vgrajenim predojačevalnikom ali brez njega.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60500 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 87:
Ultrasonics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1974. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
