Hydrophone TC4013

Miniature Reference Hydrophone

TC4013
• High sensitivity The TC4013 offers a usable frequency range of 1Hz to 170kHz and a high
sensitivity relative to its size. It further more provides uniform omnidirectional
• Omnidirectional to high sensitivities in both horizontal and vertical planes up to high frequencies.
frequencies The TC4013 is an excellent transducer for making absolute sound measure-
ments and calibrations within a broad frequency range. It can also be applied
• Broad banded
as an omnidirectional reference projector.
• O-ring sealed mounting The overall characteristics makes TC4013 extremely applicable for laboratory
as well as industrial uses.
• Individually calibrated

NBR means Nitrile Rubber

The NBR rubber is first of all resistant to sea and fresh water but also resistant to oil.
It is limited resistant to petrol, limited resistant to most acids and will be destroyed by
base, strong acids, halogenated hydrocarbons (carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene),
nitro hydrocarbons (nitrobenzene, aniline), phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, Ketones
(MEK, acetone), Ozone and automotive brake fluid.
