A new system was developed for the reciprocity calibration of acoustic emission transducers in Rayleigh-wave and longitudinal-wave sound fields. In order to reduce interference from spurious waves due to reflections and mode conversions, a large cylindrical block of forged steel was prepared for the transfer medium, and direct and spurious waves were discriminated between on the basis of their arrival times. Frequency characteristics of velocity sensitivity to both the Rayleigh wave and longitudinal wave were determined in the range of 50 kHz{endash}1 MHz by means of electrical measurements without the use of mechanical sound sources or reference transducers. {copyright} {ital 1997 Acoustical Society of America.}
