The T11 is a miniature transducer
designed to measure underwater explosive shock levels
and pressure transients in fluids.
Used by defence organisations throughout the world,
it has become the standard reference hydrophone for
the UK Ministry of Defence test ranges.
The hydrophone is based upon a piezoelectric tourmaline
crystal connected to a miniature low noise coaxial
cable. The crystal and a small length of cable are
coated in a special waterproof compound designed to
provide a high level of insulation and a fast transient
response.
With a rise time of less than 4µsec and a dynamic
pressure range of 0-275 MPa this transducer is intended
to measure pressure levels and profiles from underwater
explosions.
A 15mm diameter underwater compression fitting is
provided to seal the cable into the customers instrumentation
housing.
Certified transducer calibration based upon a dead-weight
tester can be provided on request.
