A NEW NRL ACOUSTIC RESEARCH TANK FACILITY

Abstract

A new acoustic research tank facility designed for precise acoustic measurements on, and the study of, scaled models of sonar transducers, arrays, and related underwater devices has been installed at the Naval Research Laboratory. The tank is constructed of cypress wood, is 30 ft in diameter and 22 ft deep, and is enclosed in a cinder block house, which contributes to the maintenance of the controlled environment necessary for accurate measurements.
