Registered United States Patent and Trademark Office IMPORTANT SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS It is strongly recommended that the product be designed, constructe
3、d, assembled and installed in accordance with nationally recognized safety requirements appropriate for products covered by this standard. ARI, as a manufacturers trade association, uses its best efforts to develop standards employing state-of-the-art and accepted industry practices. However, ARI do
4、es not certify or guarantee safety of any products or systems designed, tested, rated, installed or operated in accordance with these standards or that any tests conducted under its standards will be non-hazardous or free from risk. Note: This standard supersedes ARI Standard 370-86. Note: This vers
5、ion of the standard differs from that of 1986 in the following ways: a. The single number, A-Weighted, sound rating level (SR) in bels has been replaced by a rating comprised of three sound level descriptors, all expressed in decibels: Octave Band Sound Power Levels, dB A-Weighted Sound Power Level,
6、 dB Tone Adjusted, A-Weighted Sound Power Level, dB One-Third Octave Band Sound Power Levels, dB (optional) b. The frequency range of interest has been expanded to include the 63 Hz Octave Band c. All sound levels are determined from One-Third Octave Band measurements d. In addition to a sound ratin
7、g for the complete unit, the scope of the rating has been expanded to include sound levels for fan only operation as well e. A new test procedure is specified for determining Sound Power Levels based upon measurements of sound pressure in an essentially free-field f. The area of equivalent hemispher
8、e is used to ensure closure between Sound Power Levels obtained using reverberation room and survey methods.
