Reverberation Measurements in Water Tanks,
Abstract
Methods of measuring tank absorption and transducer power output are presented as guide lines for persons interested in making such measurements. The methods are not established, practical ones, but are tentative. The method for measuring absorption has been tried successfully by several persons. The method of power output measurement has been tried once and was successful. However, the transducer was not one of the large ASW transducers for which this measurement may be important. The few data available on tank absorption show that wooden tanks absorb nearly one-half the incident energy at about 5 kc. Concrete tanks absorb about 20 percent, and steel ones absorb less than 10 percent. (Author)
