Terminology3.1 Definitions of the acoustical terms used in this testmethod are given in Terminology C634.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 floor coveringany resilient material, combination ofresilient materials or combination of resilient material an

18、d rigidmaterials used to provide a finished walking surface on a floor.This includes all materials between the upper walking surfaceand the base concrete slab.3.2.2 reference concrete floora hypothetical concrete floorused to calculate changes in impact insulation class (IIC).3.2.3 standard concrete

19、 floorthe actual concrete floorsatisfying the provisions of this method used in the measure-ments.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Two vertically adjacent rooms are used: the upper onebeing designated the source room and the lower one thereceiving room. A standard concrete floor is installed in anopenin

20、g between them. The rooms and the floor installation aredesigned so the only significant sound radiation into thereceiving room is from the standard concrete floor.4.2 Astandard tapping machine is installed and activated onthe standard concrete floor and the normalized impact soundpressure levels ar

21、e measured in the room below. The floorcovering to be evaluated is then installed on the standardconcrete floor and the normalized impact sound pressure levelsmeasured again.4.3 The differences in normalized impact sound pressurelevel are subtracted from the levels defined for a referenceconcrete fl

22、oor and an IIC rating is calculated for the resultantarray. This is the IIC that the covering would produce incombination with the reference concrete floor. The secondrating, IIC, is obtained by subtracting 28 from the first (28 isthe IIC for the reference concrete floor). This gives theimprovement

23、in IIC that the covering would produce on thereference concrete floor.5. Significance and Use5.1 The impact sound rating for a floor assembly is deter-mined both by the basic floor assembly and the floor coveringon the upper surface. The same floor covering in combinationwith different basic floor a

24、ssemblies will not always give thesame impact insulation class (IIC) ratings. This test method isdesigned to provide data that characterize the floor coveringalone when installed over concrete slab floors.5.2 The IIC rating calculated in 13.4 is used to comparethe effectiveness of different floor co

25、verings on concrete floors.5.3 The impact insulation class (IIC) calculated for thereference concrete floor with a covering provides an indicationof the impact sound insulation that the covering will providewith typical, monolithic concrete floors.5.4 When the normalized impact sound pressure levels

26、below a bare concrete slab are known, the difference spectrumcalculated in 13.1 may be used to estimate the impact soundpressure levels and hence the IIC that would result if thecovering were installed on the slab.5.5 Warning: Difference spectra measured using thismethod shall not be used to estimat

27、e impact sound pressurelevels for floors comprising only one or two lightweight floorlayers such as oriented strandboard or plywood. Such esti-mated impact sound pressure levels would be very inaccurate.NOTE 1The difference spectrum calculated in 13.1 gives unreliableestimates of the reduction in im

28、pact sound pressure levels due to the floorcovering when it is placed on a joist floor incorporating a concrete topping(about 50 mm thick) poured directly on the plywood subfloor or steeldeck. The estimated impact sound pressure levels are too low.35.6 This test method closely follows that described

29、 in ISO140-8 except that the single number rating used is the impactinsulation class (IIC) described in Classification E989. Thedescription of the standard concrete floor also differs.NOTE 2The requirement in Classification E989 that no deviationabove the reference contour may exceed 8 dB means that

30、 there is nosimple relationship between ISO 140-8 test ratings and those generated bythis method.6. Test Rooms6.1 The test rooms shall satisfy the requirements given inMethod E492.7. Standard Concrete Floor7.1 The standard concrete floor on which the test coveringsare to be installed shall consist o

31、f a reinforced concrete slab orslab sections with a thickness of 150 6 50 mm. The slab orslabs shall be homogeneous and of uniform thickness.NOTE 3A thickness of 150 mm is preferred for new facilities.7.2 The surface of the test floor shall be smooth andsufficiently hard to endure the impacts of the

32、 tapping machine.Any screed applied to the surface of the test floor shall adheresolidly at all points so the screed does not chip, crack orbecome pulverized.7.3 Inspect the surface of the slab frequently to assesssurface damage. Repairs shall be made when the surface is nolonger smooth.3“Impact Sou

Test Specimens8.1 Classification of Test Specimens:8.1.1 Category I (Small Specimens)This category in-cludes flexible coverings (plastics, rubber, cork, matting, carpetor combinations thereof), which are installed loosely or byadhesion to the fl

35、oor surface.8.1.1.1 Use three samples, preferably from different produc-tion runs but from the same source. Each sample shall measureat least 1 0.5 m.8.1.2 Category IIThis category includes rigid, homoge-neous surface materials or complex floor coverings of which atleast one constituent is rigid. Wh

36、en the area of the standardconcrete floor is less than 10 m2, the specimen shall cover thewhole surface of the standard concrete floor. When the area ofthe standard concrete floor is greater than 10 m2, the specimenarea need not exceed 10 m2provided that the smallestdimension of the specimen is not

37、less than 3 m.8.1.3 Materials of Uncertain ClassificationIn the case ofuncertainty as to the appropriate category for a material, thetesting laboratory shall decide whether small or large speci-mens will be tested. In any case the specimen shall bedescribed in detail in the test report.8.2 Preparati

38、on and Installation of Test Specimens:8.2.1 Adhesive MountingInstall coverings to be mountedwith adhesive with great care, normally with adhesive coveringthe entire surface of the test specimen. If the adhesive isapplied in isolated patches, describe the exact procedure in thereport. Follow strictly

39、 the manufacturers instructions for useof the adhesive, especially with regard to the amount and thebonding-time. Report the type of adhesive and the bonding-time.8.2.2 To avoid damage to the standard concrete slab andease removal of specimens, it is acceptable to first apply aremovable thin layer s

40、uch as double-faced tape or thin paperusing soluble paste. Adhesives for coverings may then beapplied to the removable layer. Users shall establish byexperiment that such protective coverings have negligibleeffect on the measurements. The data collected during suchexperiments shall be kept on file a

Thetemperature shall be in the range 18 to 25C in the upper room.8.4 Aging of SpecimensTest specimens that incorporatematerials for which there is a curing process

42、 (for exampleadhesives, plasters, concrete, mortar, damping compound)shall age for a sufficient interval before testing. Manufacturersmay supply information about curing times for their products.Aging periods for certain common materials are given in TestMethods E492 and E90.9. Microphone Requiremen

Theaverage normalized impact sound pressure levels are denotedL0and Lcrespectively.12.1.1 Category I SpecimensThe

47、 normalized impactsound pressure levels for the bare standard concrete floor shallbe obtained by operating the tapping machine in the middle ofeach area to be occupied by the three small specimens. Thethree sets of levels obtained shall be averaged and thenormalized result used as L0in the calculati

The tappingmachine shall be operated on top of each sample in turn in theposition it occupied on the bare floor and the results
