Ultrasonics - Hydrophones - Part 3: Properties of hydrophones for ultrasonic fields
IEC 62127-3:2022 specifies relevant hydrophone characteristics. This document is applicable to:
- hydrophones employing piezoelectric sensor elements, designed to measure the pulsed and continuous wave ultrasonic fields generated by ultrasonic equipment;
- hydrophones used for measurements made in water;
- hydrophones with or without an associated pre-amplifier.
IEC 62127-3:2022 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007 and Amendment 1:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition.
a) The upper frequency limit of 40 MHz has been removed.
b) Hydrophone sensitivity definitions have been changed to recognize sensitivities as complex-valued quantities.
c) Procedures to determine the effective hydrophone size have been changed according to the rationale outlined in Annex B.
d) Requirements on the frequencies for which the effective hydrophone size shall be provided have been changed to achieve practicality for increased frequency bands.
e) The new Annex B and Annex C have been added.
f) Annex A has been updated to reflect the changes of the normative parts.
Ultrasons - Hydrophones - Partie 3: Propriétés des hydrophones pour les champs ultrasoniques
L'IEC 62127-3:2022 spécifie les caractéristiques pertinentes des hydrophones. Le présent document s'applique:
- aux hydrophones qui utilisent des capteurs piézoélectriques conçus pour mesurer les champs ultrasoniques à ondes par impulsions et entretenues générés par les appareils à ultrasons;
- aux hydrophones utilisés pour les mesurages réalisés dans l'eau;
- aux hydrophones avec ou sans préamplificateur associé.
L'IEC 62127-3:2022 annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2007 et son amendement 1:2013. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente.
a) La limite de fréquence supérieure de 40 MHz a été supprimée.
b) Les définitions de la sensibilité de l'hydrophone ont été modifiées afin de reconnaître les sensibilités comme des grandeurs à valeur complexe.
c) Les procédures de détermination de la taille efficace de l'hydrophone ont été modifiées conformément à la justification donnée à l'Annexe B.
d) Les exigences relatives aux fréquences pour lesquelles doit être fournie la taille efficace de l'hydrophone ont été modifiées afin de tenir compte des bandes de fréquences supérieures.
e) De nouvelles annexes ont été ajoutées (Annexe B et Annexe C).

Part 3: Properties of hydrophones for ultrasonic fields up to 40 MHz
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.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes made to
the previous edition IEC 62127-3:2007+AMD1:2013 CSV. A vertical bar appears in the margin
wherever a change has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough
red text.
IEC 62127-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 87: Ultrasonics. It is an
International Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007 and
Amendment 1:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) The upper frequency limit of 40 MHz has been removed.
