Summary of Test Method4.1 Insertion loss is measur

29、ed by comparing the change insound pressure level due to the insertion of a test specimen intoa duct system connecting a reverberation room to a soundsource chamber. When insertion loss is measured with airflowing through the test specimen, the measured quantity isdynamic insertion loss. The sound s

30、ignal is created by a systemof loudspeakers within the sound source chamber and trans-mitted through the system ductwork to the reverberation room.The intent of the method is that the airborne path through theduct is the dominant means of sound transmission between thesound source chamber and the re

31、verberation room. Measure-ments are made in a series of frequency bands becauseinsertion loss is a function of frequency.4.2 Noise generated by air flowing through the test speci-men is measured in the reverberation room and expressed interms of a computed sound power level within each frequencyband

32、.4.3 Pressure drop performance is obtained by measuring thestatic pressure at designated locations upstream and down-stream of the test specimen at various airflow settings. Thepressure drop and airflow may be measured with a variety ofstandard acceptable instrumentation such as piezometer rings,flo

33、w nozzles, orifices, etc. However, the method describedherein is the pitot tube and manometer method.4.4 It is the intent of this test method that corrections due tobackground and flanking noise be eliminated or minimized asmuch as possible. Where corrections are unavoidable, the dataare to be marke

34、d as corrected and shall indicate the magnitudeof the corrections made as described in Sections 9 and 10.E477 13125. Significance and Use5.1 Specimens tested using this standard, for example, ductsilencers, are used to control sound propagation throughventilation ducts. The results gathered from tes

35、ting specimensto this standard can be used to estimate the reduction in fansound levels in ducted airflow systems caused by including asound attenuating device in the system. The device can be acomponent in a source-path-receiver analysis where calcula-tions are performed to determine the resultant

36、sound level in anoccupied space. Correct selection of a sound attenuating devicecan enable a designer to achieve in-space background noisecriteria.5.2 The insertion loss of a silencer varies with frequencyand with the direction and speed of airflow. Because silencerspartially obstruct the air path a

37、nd provide resistance to airflow,two other effects must be quantified: pressure drop andairflow-generated noise. Both increase with increasing airspeeds; thus data are required for several airflows to correctlycharacterize performance.5.3 The aerodynamic results from testing specimens to thestandard

38、 can be used as information for the system designengineer to determine the amount of static pressure dropresistance to be overcome by the system fan(s). Guidelines forappropriate maximum allowable pressure drop for a soundattenuating element have been established in the design com-munity and are bas

39、ed on the procedures described herein.5.4 As stated previously in 1.4 of this test method, the actualperformance of a sound attenuating device as installed in an airduct system may be significantly different than reported basedon the test procedure herein. This standard does not provideguidance to t

40、he user on these system effects.5.5 Silencers are often designed to be used under conditionswhich do not duplicate the test set-ups of this standard.Mock-ups and specialized test set-ups to determine perfor-mance of sound attenuating devices in non-standard configu-rations may be based on this test

41、method but cannot beconsidered to be in full conformance with this test method. SeeAnnex A2 for further information regarding such tests.6.

It is recommended that aflared (tapered) opening be provided for the test duct tominimize flow generated noise. The recommended soundsource chamber openin
