The results of some experimental measurements, made to determine the hydrophone-size correction factor, are presented and compared with the theoretical results of Corcos. The measurements agree with Corcos' theoretical hydrophone-size correction factors over the range of Strouhal numbers, from 0.01 to 4.0, covered by the experiment. In addition, a practical method of determining effective hydrophone size is presented.
