1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of sound absorption in a reverberation room by measuring decay rate. Procedures for measuring the absorption of a room, the absorption of an object, such as an office screen, and the sound absorption coefficients of a specimen of sound absorptive material, such as acoustical ceiling tile, are described.
1.2 Field MeasurementsAlthough this test method primarily covers laboratory measurements, the test method described in can be used for making field measurements of the absorption of rooms (see also ). A non-standard method to measure the absorption of rooms in the field is described in .
1.3 This test method includes information on laboratory accreditation (see ), asymmetrical screens (see ), and reverberation room qualification (see ).
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
