Evaluation of TR-297/UQN-1 Transducer Modifications.

Abstract

Some proposed modifications to the TR-297/UQN-1 transducer have been investigated. The proposed changes are: replacement of silicone oil by castor oil, replacement of the rubber window with a copper-nickel window, and elimination of the internal pressure compensator. This report describes the test and evaluation of the transducer with these proposed changes and compares the measured performance to required performance specifications. The results indicate there is no measurable response differences between the silicone oil and castor oil and only a small degradation in performance with the substitution of the copper-nickel window. The pressure, internal to the transducer, stays within operational and safety limits without the pressure compensator. (Author)
