Summary of Test Method4.1 A plane wave traveling in one direction down a tube isreflected back by the test specimen to produce a standing wavethat can be explored with a microphone. The normal incidences

11、ound absorption coefficient, n, is determined from the stand-ing wave ratio at the face of the test specimen.To determine theimpedance ratio, z/c, a measurement of the position of thestanding wave with reference to the face of the specimen isneeded.4.2 The normal incidence absorption coefficient and

12、 imped-ance ratio are functions of frequency. Measurements are madewith pure tones at a number of frequencies chosen, unless thereare compelling reasons to do otherwise, from those specified inANSI S1.6.5.

United States1airflow resistance, porosity, elasticity, and density.As such, themeasurements described in this test method are useful in basicresearch and product development of sound absorptive mate-rials.5.2 Normal incidence sound absorption coefficien

17、ts aremore useful than random incidence coefficients in certainsituations. They are used, for example, to predict the effect ofplacing material in a small enclosed space, such as inside amachine.5.3 Estimates of the random incidence or statistical absorp-tion coefficients for materials can be obtain

18、ed from normalincidence impedance data. For materials that are locallyreacting, that is, without sound propagation inside the materialparallel to its surface, statistical absorption coefficients can beestimated from specific normal acoustic impedance valuesusing an expression derived by London (1).5

19、Locally reactingmaterials include those with high internal losses parallel withthe surface such as porous or fibrous materials of high densityor materials that are backed by partitioned cavities such as ahoneycomb core. Formulas for estimating random incidencesound absorption properties for both loc

20、ally and bulk-reactingmaterials, as well as for multilayer systems with and withoutair spaces have also been developed (2).6. Apparatus6.1 The apparatus is essentially a tube with a test specimenat one end and a loudspeaker at the other. A probe microphonethat can be moved along the length of the tu

21、be is used toexplore the standing wave in the tube. The signal from themicrophone is filtered, amplified, and recorded.6.1.1 Tube:6.1.1.1 ConstructionThe tube may be made of metal,plastic, portland cement, or other suitable material that hasinherently low sound absorption properties. Its interior cr

22、osssection may be circular or rectangular but must be uniformfrom end to end. The tube must be straight and its insidesurface must be smooth, nonporous and free of dust to keep thesound attenuation with distance low. The interior of the tubemay be sealed with paint, epoxy, or other coating material

23、toensure low sound absorption of the interior surface. The tubewalls must be massive and rigid enough so that the propagationof sound energy through them by vibration is negligible.6.1.1.2 DiameterFor circular tubes, the upper limit (3) offrequency is:f,0.586 c/d (1)where:f = frequency, Hz,c = speed

24、 of sound in the tube, m/s, andd = diameter of tube, m.For rectangular tubes, with d used as a symbol for the largercross section dimension, the upper limit is:f,0.500 c/d (2)It is best to work well below these limits whether the tube iscircular or rectangular.At frequencies above these limits, cros

25、smodes may develop and the incident and reflected waves in thetube are not likely to be plane waves. If sound with a frequencybelow the limiting value enters the tube as a non-plane wave,it will become a plane wave after traveling a short distance. Forthis reason, no measurement should be made close

26、r than onetube diameter to the source end of the tube.6.1.1.3 LengthThe length of the tube is also related to thefrequencies at which measurements are made. The tube mustbe long enough to contain that part of the standing wave patternneeded for measurement. That is, it must be long enough tocontain

27、at least one and preferably two sound pressure minima.To ensure that at least two minima can be observed in the tube,its length should be such that:f.0.75 c/l 2 d! (3)where:l = length of tube, m.If, for example, the tube is1minlength and 0.1 m indiameter and the speed of sound is 343 m/s, the freque

28、ncyshould exceed 286 Hz if two sound pressure minima are to beobserved.6.1.2 Test Specimen HolderThe specimen holder, a de-tachable extension of the tube, must make an airtight fit withthe end of the tube opposite the sound source. Provision mustbe made for containing the specimen with its face in a

29、 knownposition. The interior cross-sectional shape of the specimenholder must be the same as the tube itself. Provision must bemade for backing the specimen with a metal backing plate thatforms a seal with the interior of the specimen holder. Arecommended backing is a solid steel plate with a thickn

30、ess ofnot less than 2 cm. The sample holder may be constructed insuch a way that a variable depth air space can be providedbetween the back of the test specimen and the surface of themetal backing plate. Provision must be made for substitutingthe metal backing plate for the specimen for calibrationp

31、urposes.6.1.3 Sound Source:6.1.3.1 Kind and PlacementThe sound source may be aloudspeaker or a horn-driver coupled to a short exponentialhorn. The source may face directly into the tube or, to avoidinterference with the probe microphone, it may be placed toone side. Since the source diameter may be

32、larger than the tubediameter, it is best to mount the source in an enclosure to whichthe tube is connected.6.1.3.2 PrecautionsPrecautions should be taken to avoiddirect transmission of vibration from the sound source to theprobe microphone where it enters the tube or to the tube itself.Such vibratio

33、nal transmission will be evidenced by a smallerstanding wave ratio (higher normal incidence sound absorp-tion) than would be expected for the material under test.Vibration isolation material, such as polymeric foam, may beplaced between the sound source and tube or the microphoneprobe, or both, to m

34、inimize this effect. Interaction between thesound field within the tube and the loudspeaker diaphragm maycause the frequency response of the loudspeaker to be nonlin-ear. Although this has no effect on measurement accuracy, it5The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at th

35、e end ofthis standard.C384 04 (2016)2does require awkward changes in amplifier gain settings whenswitching between test frequencies. This effect can be mini-mized by lining the interior of the tube near the sound sourcewith a porous, absorbent material.6.1.4 MicrophoneIf the microphone is small enou

36、gh, itmay be placed inside the impedance tube connected to a rod orother device that can be used to move it along the length of thetube. If the microphone is placed within the tube, the totalcross-sectional area of the microphone and microphone sup-ports shall be less than 5 % of the total cross-sec

37、tional area ofthe tube. In most applications, the microphone is on the outsideconnected to a hollow probe tube that is inserted through thesource end of the apparatus and is aligned with the central axisof the tube. In principle, the sensing element of the microphoneor of the microphone probe may be

38、 positioned anywhere withinthe tube cross-sectional area. In practice, the microphone or theend of the probe tube must be supported by a spider or otherdevice to maintain its position on the central axis of theimpedance tube or at a constant distance from the central axis.6.1.5 Microphone Position I

39、ndicatorA scale shall be pro-vided to measure the position of the microphone with respectto the specimen face. It is not necessary that zero on the scalecorrespond to the position of the specimen face. The resolutionof this scale should be such that microphone position can bemeasured to the nearest

40、1.0 mm or, if a vernier is used, to thenearest 0.1 mm.6.1.6 Test Signal:6.1.6.1 FrequencyThe test signal shall be provided by asine wave oscillator generating a pure tone chosen from the listof preferred band center frequencies listed in ANSI S1.6. Thetest frequency shall be controlled to within 61

41、% during thecourse of a measurement. If a digital frequency synthesizer isused, the test signal may be assumed to agree with the set pointwithin the required 61%.6.1.6.2 Frequency CounterIt may be necessary, and isusually advisable, to measure the frequency of the signal withan electronic counter ra

42、ther than to rely on the calibration andindicated setting of the frequency generator. Frequency shouldbe indicated to the nearest 1 Hz.6.1.7 Output-Measuring Equipment:6.1.7.1 FilterThe microphone output should be filtered toremove any harmonics and to reduce the adverse effect ofambient noise. The

43、filter width must be no wider than one-thirdoctave, but a one-tenth octave or narrower filter bandwidth ispreferable.6.1.7.2 AmplifierThe signal-to-noise ratio of the measur-ing amplifier must be at least 50 dB. The amplified signal maybe read and recorded as a voltage or as a sound pressure level(d

44、B). It is presumed in Sections 9 and 10 of this test methodthat voltages rather than dB levels are being used. As onlypressure ratios are required for the computations in this testmethod, it is not necessary that the sound pressure measure-ment system be calibrated to a known, reference soundpressur

45、e level or to a known voltage.6.1.8 Temperature IndicatorA thermometer or other am-bient temperature sensing device shall be located in the vicinityof the impedance tube. This device should indicate air tem-perature inside the tube to within 62C.6.1.9 Monitoring OscilloscopeWhile not required for an

46、yactual measurement purpose, it is recommended that an oscil-loscope be used to monitor both the voltage driving the soundsource and the output of the amplifier. Observing the oscillo-scope trace is useful in locating the exact position of pressureminima within the tube as well as in detecting disto

47、rtion,excess noise, and other possible problems in the voltagesignals.7. Sampling7.1 At least three specimens, preferably more if the sampleis not uniform, should be cut from the sample for the test.When the sample has a surface that is not uniform (for examplea fissured acoustical tile), each speci

48、men should be chosen toinclude, in proper proportion, the different kinds of surfacesexisting in the larger sample.8. Test Specimen Preparation and Mounting8.1 The measured impedance properties can be stronglyinfluenced by the specimen mounting conditions. Therefore,the following guidelines for the

49、preparation and mounting ofspecimens are provided.8.2 The specimen must have the same shape and area as thetube cross section, neither more nor less. The specimen must fitsnugly into the specimen holder, fitting not so tightly that itbulges in the center, nor so loosely that there is a space betweenits edge and the holder. Movement of the specimen as a wholeand spaces between the specimen perimeter and sample holdercan result in anomalous values of normal incidence soundabsorption. Specimen movement can be minimized by the useof thin, double-side
