4、 covering in alaboratory. Others in the set include the measurement of sound isolation in buildings ( TestMethodE 336), the laboratory methods of measuring airborne sound transmisssion loss of buildingpartitions such as walls, floor-ceiling assemblies, doors, and other space-dividing elements ( Test

5、Method E 90); the laboratory measurement of impact sound transmission through floors ( Test MethodE 492), the measurement of impact sound transmission in buildings ( Test Method E 1007), themeasurement of sound transmission through building facades and facade elements ( Guide E 966), andthe measurem

6、ent of sound transmission through a common plenum between two rooms (MethodE 1414).1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a method for the laboratorymeasurement of the effectiveness of floor coverings in reducingimpact noise from a standard tapping machine through con-crete floors. The test results

7、are not necessarily directly relatedto the subjective evaluations of the floor coverings.1.2 This test method applies to all floor coverings, whethersingle or multi-layered, as installed on a standard concretefloor. Multi-layered coverings may be factory-assembled orassembled at the test laboratory.

8、1.3 The test method applies only to laboratory measure-ments. It does not apply to the measurement of the effective-ness of a floor covering in a field situation.1.4 Laboratory AccreditationA procedure for accreditinga laboratory for performing this test method is given in MethodE 492.1.5 This stand

9、ard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 Two vertically adjacent rooms are used: the upper onebeing designated t

20、he source room and the lower one thereceiving room. A standard concrete floor is installed in anopening 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 A standard tapping machine is

21、installed and activated onthe standard concrete floor and the normalized impact soundpressure levels are 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

22、normalized impact sound pressurelevel are subtracted from the levels defined for a referenceconcrete floor 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, DIIC, is obtained by s

23、ubtracting 28 from the first (28 isthe IIC for the reference concrete floor). This gives theimprovement 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 th

24、e floor coveringon the upper surface. The same floor covering in combinationwith different basic floor assemblies 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 sla

25、b floors.5.2 The DIIC rating calculated in 13.4 is used to comparethe effectiveness of different floor coverings 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

26、will providewith typical, monolithic concrete floors.5.4 When the normalized impact sound pressure levelsbelow 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 ins

27、talled on the slab.5.5 Warning: Difference spectra measured using thismethod shall not be used to estimate 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 ina

28、ccurate.NOTE 1The difference spectrum calculated in 13.1 gives unreliableestimates of the reduction in impact 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. Th

29、e estimated impact sound pressure levels are too low.35.6 This test method closely follows that described in ISO140-8 except that the single number rating used is the impactinsulation class (IIC) described in Classification E 989. Thedescription of the standard concrete floor also differs.NOTE 2The

30、requirement in Classification E 989 that no deviationabove the reference contour may exceed 8 dB means that 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 E 492.7. Standard

31、Concrete Floor7.1 The standard concrete floor on which the test coveringsare to be installed shall consist of 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 fa

32、cilities.7.2 The surface of the test floor shall be smooth andsufficiently hard to endure the impacts of the 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 sla

33、b frequently to assesssurface damage. Repairs shall be made when the surface is nolonger smooth.3“Impact Sound Measurements on Floors Covered with Small Patches ofResilient Materials or Floating Assemblies,” A.C.C. Warnock.

Test Specimens8.1 Classification of Test Specimens:8.1.1 Category I (Small Specimens)This category in-cludes flexible coverings (plastics, rubb

35、er, cork, matting, carpetor combinations thereof), which are installed loosely or byadhesion to the floor 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 3 0.5 m.8.1.2 Category IIThis category includes rigid,

36、 homoge-neous surface materials or complex floor coverings of which atleast one constituent is rigid. When 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

37、10 m2, the specimenarea need not exceed 10 m2provided that the smallestdimension of the specimen is not 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-me

38、ns will be tested. In any case the specimen shall bedescribed in detail in the test report.8.2 Preparation 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. I

39、f the adhesive isapplied in isolated patches, describe the exact procedure in thereport. Follow strictly 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 stan

40、dard concrete slab andease removal of specimens, it is acceptable to first apply aremovable thin layer such 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

41、 negligibleeffect on the measurements. The data collected during suchexperiments shall be kept on file and made available onrequest.8.3 Room Temperature and HumidityMeasure and reportthe temperature and the humidity of the air in each room. Thetemperature shall be in the range 18 to 25C in the upper

42、 room.8.4 Aging of SpecimensTest specimens that incorporatematerials for which there is a curing process (for exampleadhesives, plasters, concrete, mortar, damping compound)shall age for a sufficient interval before testing. Manufacturersmay supply information about curing times for their products.A
