for threaded hydrophones ВС 313
The hydrophones are connected to special mounting seats, adapters, weldolets, etc.
Hex section of the hydrophone connection is used for installation of the hydrophone. It is not recommended to use any other parts of the hydrophone in the course of hydrophone mounting.
In order to maintain hermeticity of the hydrophone you can use additional plate included into the delivery scope (copper gasket). It is not recommended to use any other alternatives (foam tape, plumbing hemp, etc), since it may negatively affect the hermeticity level.

Example of threaded hydrophone installation
of BC 313 underwater/threaded hydrophones
Hydrophone BC 313 are connected to FFT spectrum analyzers ZET 017 over ZET 430 matching device, which provides power supply for the hydrophone, sending output signal from hydrophone to the FFT spectrum analyzer, and also, sending test signals from FFT spectrum analyzer integrated generator to conduct non-dismantle calibration of hydrophones.

Frequency response of Hydrophone BC 313 is shown in the chart.
of BC 313 underwater/threaded hydrophones
Hydrophone BC 313 is a dynamic pressure transducer with even response curve throughout the complete range of frequencies observed in any homogeneous medium, including air, sea and fresh water; the hydrophones are also intended to address hydroacoustics issues: to measure sound pressure level in liquid media and to observe cavitation processes.
Hydrophone BC 313 uses piezoceramic element as a signal transducer. The integrated amplifier allows transmitting signals via long submarine cables (down to 1,000 m ocean depth).
Hydrophone internal nodes are electrically insulated from the metal casing. Special attention has been paid to signal interference protection. This enables using hydrophones both in air and water reservoirs, where the electric potential of water differs from that of the earth as well as in cases of high electromagnetic field presence.
Hydrophone BC 313 can be used to determine explosion pressure up to 1,000 kPa, pulse duration 2-5 ms (time sensitivity – approximately 0.1 ms).
