Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is similar to Test Method C 384 in thatit also uses an impedance tube with a sound source connectedto one end and the test sample mounted at the other

19、end. Themeasurement techniques for the two methods are fundamen-tally different, however. In this test method, plane waves aregenerated in the tube using a broad band signal from a noisesource rather than a discrete sinusoid from an oscillator. Thedecomposition of the stationary sound wave pattern i

20、ntoforward- and backward-traveling components is achieved bymeasuring sound pressures simultaneously at two spacedlocations in the tubes side wall. Calculations of the normal-incidence absorption coefficients for the acoustical material areperformed by processing an array of complex data from themea

21、sured transfer function.4.2 The quantities are determined as functions of frequencywith a resolution determined by the sampling rate of a digitalfrequency analysis system. The usable frequency range de-pends on the diameter of the tube and the spacing between themicrophone positions. An extended fre

22、quency range may beobtained by using tubes with various diameters and micro-phones spacings.4.3 This test method is intended to provide a much fastermeasurement technique than that of Test Method C 384.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be applied to measure soundabsorption coefficients

23、 of absorptive materials at normal inci-dence, that is, 0. It also can be used to determine specificimpedance and admittance ratios. The properties measuredwith this test method are useful in basic research and productdevelopment of sound absorptive materials.5.2 Normal incidence sound absorption co

24、efficients can bequite useful in certain situations where the material is placedwithin a small acoustical cavity close to a sound source, forexample a closely-fitted machine enclosure.5.3 This test method allows one to compare relative valuesof sound absorption when it is impractical to procure larg

25、esamples for accurate random-incidence measurements in areverberation room. Estimates of the random incidence absorp-tion coefficients can be obtained from normal impedance datafor locally-reacting materials (2).55.4 Measurements described in this test method can bemade with high precision, but thes

26、e measurements may bemisleading. Uncertainties of greater magnitude than those fromthe measurements may occur from other sources. Care shouldbe exercised to sample nonuniform materials adequately (see11.1).6. Apparatus6.1 The apparatus is a hallow cylinder, or tube, with a testsample holder at one e

27、nd and a sound source at the other.Microphone ports are mounted at two or more locations alongthe wall of the tube. A two channel digital frequency analysissystem is used for data acquisition and processing.6.2 Tube:6.2.1 ConstructionThe interior section of the tube may becircular or rectangular wit

28、h a constant dimension from end-to-end. The tube shall be straight and its inside surface shall besmooth, nonporous, and free of dust to maintain low soundattenuation. The tube construction shall be massive so soundtransmission through the tube wall is negligible.66.2.2 Working Frequency RangeThe wo

29、rking frequencyrange is:fl, f , fu(1)where:f = operating frequency, hertz,fl= lower working frequency of the tube, hertz, andfu= upper working frequency of the tube, hertz.6.2.2.1 The lower frequency limit depends on the spacing ofthe microphones and the accuracy of the analysis system. It isrecomme

30、nded that the microphone spacing exceed one percentof the wavelength corresponding to the lower frequency ofinterest.6.2.2.2 The upper frequency limit, fu, and the correspondingwavelength, lu, depends on the diameter of the tube and uponthe speed of sound.6.2.3 DiameterIn order to maintain plane wav

31、e propaga-tion, the upper frequency limit (4) is defined as follows:fu, Kc/ dord, Kc/ fu(2)where:fu= upper frequency limit, hertz,c = speed of sound in the tube, m/s,d = diameter of the tube, m, andK = 0.586.6.2.3.1 For rectangular tubes, d is defined as the largestsection dimension the tube and K i

32、s defined as 0.500. Extremeaspect rations greater than 2:1 or less than 1:2 should beavoided. A square cross-section is recommended.5The classification, “locally-reacting” includes fibrous materials having highinternal losses. Formulas have been developed for converting sound absorptionproperties fr

33、om normal incidence to random incidence, for both locally-reacting andbulk-reacing materials (3).6The tube can be constructed from materials including metal, plastic, cement, orwood. It may be necessary to seal the interior walls with a smooth coating in orderto maintain low sound attenuation for pl

34、ane waves.E 1050 98 (2006)26.2.3.2 It is best to conduct the plane wave measurementswell within these frequency limits in order to avoid cross-modes that occur at higher frequencies when the acousticalwave length approaches the sectional dimension of the tube.6.2.4 LengthThe tube should be sufficien

35、tly long as planewaves are fully developed before reaching the microphonesand test specimen. A minimum of three tube diameters must beallowed between sound source and the nearest microphone.The sound source may generate nonplane waves along withdesired plane waves. The nonplane waves usually will su

36、bsideat a distance equivalent to three tube diameters from thesource. If measurements are conducted over a wide frequencyrange, it may be desirable to use a tube which providesmultiple microphone spacings or to employ separate tubes. Theoverall tube length also must be chosen to satisfy the require-

37、ments of 6.4.3, 6.5.3, and 6.5.4.6.2.5 Tube VentingSome tube designs are such that, dur-ing during installation or removal of the test specimen, largetemporary pressure variation may be generated. This mayinduce microphone diaphragm deflection. The potential fordamage to a microphone diaphragm due t

38、o excessive deflectionmay be reduced including a pressure relief opening in the tube.This may be accomplished by drilling a small hole, 1 to 2 mmthrough the wall of the tube. It is recommended to locate thetube vent near the sound source, away from microphonelocations, and to seal the vent during ac

39、oustic measurements.6.3 Test Specimen Holder:6.3.1 General FeaturesThe specimen holder may eitherbe integrated with the impedance tube or may be a separate,detachable extension of the tube. Provision must be made formounting the specimen with its face in a known position alongthe tube axis and for p

40、lacing a heavy backing plate behind thespecimen. For some measurements it may be desirable tomaintain an airspace of known dimensions between the speci-men and the backing plate. One such arrangement may be tosimulate a suspended ceiling tile.6.3.2 Detachable HolderAs a detachable unit, the holdermu

41、st make an airtight fit with the end of the tube opposite thesound source. The holder must conform with the interior shapeand dimensions of the main part of the impedance tube. Theconnecting joint must be finished carefully and the use of asealant, such as petroleum jelly or silicone grease, is reco

42、m-mended for sealing.6.3.3 Integral HolderIf the sample holder is in an integralpart of the impedance tube, it is recommended to make theinstallation section of the tube accessible for mounting of thespecimen by a removable cover. The mating surfaces must befinished carefully, and the use of a seala

43、nt is recommended forsealing.6.3.4 Circular HolderFor circular tubes, it is recom-mended to make the specimen accessible from both the frontand back end of the sample holder. It is possible then to checkthe position and flatness of the front surface and back position.Holders may be constructed from

44、a rigid, clear material, suchas acrylic, to facilitate inspection.6.3.5 Rectangular HolderWith rectangular tubes, it isrecommended to install the specimen from the side, making itpossible to check the fitting and the position of the specimen inthe tube and to check the position and flatness of the f

45、rontsurface.6.3.6 Backing PlateThe backing plate of the sampleholder shall be rigid and shall be fixed tightly to the tube sinceit serves to provide a sound-reflective termination in manymeasurements. A metal plate having a minimum thickness of20 mm is recommended.6.4 Sound Source:6.4.1 Kind and Pla

46、cementThe sound sources should havea uniform power response over the frequency range of interest.It may either be coaxial with the main tube or joined to themain tube by means of a transition having a straight, tapered,or exponential section (see Fig. 1).6.4.2 IsolationThe sound source and transitio

47、n shall besealed and isolated from the tube to minimize structure-bornesound excitation of the impedance tube. If a direct radiatorloudspeaker is utilized, it shall be contained in a sound-isolating enclosure in order to avoid airborne flanking trans-mission to the microphones (see Fig. 1).6.4.3 Ter

48、minationResonances of the air column in theimpedance tube may arise if the mechanical impedance of theloudspeaker membrane or diaphragm is high. In this case, it isrecommended to apply a porous absorber coating or lininginside either the impedance tube near the loudspeaker or insidethe sound transit

49、ion. Alternatively, the locations describesabove may be filled lightly with a low density absorbingmaterial.FIG. 1 Sound Source ConfigurationsE 1050 98 (2006)36.4.4 EqualizationWhen an absorptive medium is placednear the sound source as described in 6.4.3, significant soundenergy will be lost at higher frequencies. An electronicequalizer may be required to shape and sound spectra measuredat the microphone positions so that they are relatively flat. Thiswill minimize the loss of signal-to-noise capability at highfrequencies.6.5
