6、DS IN ACOUSTICSThe Acoustical Society of America (ASA) provides the Secretariat for AccreditedStandards Committees S1 on Acoustics, S2 on Mechanical Vibration and Shock,S3 on Bioacoustics, and S12 on Noise. These committees have wide represen-tation from the technical community (manufacturers, consu

7、mers, and general-interest representatives). The standards are published by the Acoustical Society ofAmerica through the American Institute of Physics as American National Stan-dards after approval by their respective standards committees and the AmericanNational Standards Institute.These standards

8、are developed and published as a public service to providestandards useful to the public, industry, and consumers, and to Federal, State, andlocal governments.Each of the Accredited Standards Committees, operating in accordance with pro-cedures approved by American National Standards Institute (ANSI

9、), is responsiblefor developing, voting upon, and maintaining or revising its own standards. TheASA Standards Secretariat administers committee organization and activity, andprovides liaison between the Accredited Standards Committees and ANSI. Afterthe standards have been produced and adopted by th

10、e Accredited StandardsCommittees, and approved as American National Standards by ANSI, the ASAStandards Secretariat arranges for their publication and distribution.An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially con-cerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is establis

11、hed when, in thejudgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement hasbeen reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreementmeans much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consen-sus requires that all views and objections be consid

12、ered, and that a concertedeffort be made toward their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary. Their existencedoes not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standardsor not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processe

13、s,or procedures not conforming to the standards.CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or with-drawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Instituterequire that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw a standard.Standards Secreta

26、l Measure-ments.Weighting networks have been widely used for many years to provide standard-ized means to select preferred information from acoustical signals. For example,the A- weighting has the property to enhance information over the human hearingrange. Where as, the C-weighting is designed to e

27、ncompass information from awider spectrum. There is no concrete data to prove that the weighting networksare perfectly in agreement with the intent, such as the human hearing range.However, over the years, the design goals of the previously standardized weight-ing networks have proven to be acceptab

28、le to a majority of users, and the designgoals have not been changed. Therefore it is possible to compare measured datafrom a vast data pool that has been accumulated over a period of more than 40years.For acoustical measurements, the weighting networks and the measuring instru-ments play important

29、roles in arriving at correct answers. In this standard, ANSIS1.42-2001, only the design goals of the weighting networks are given. The tol-erances in implementation of the weighting networks are subjected to specifica-tions given in instrument standards. It must be pointed out that in view of thespe

30、cification tolerances of weighting networks in acoustical instruments, it is pos-sible to have instruments of the same class specification to give different mea-sured readings for the same acoustical signal input. This is particularly true insound level meters with relatively wide weighting network

31、tolerances at the highand the low frequency range.For the sake of completeness, information on other weighting less popular seldomused networks such as B-, D- and E-weightings are listed in the Annexes.This standard was developed under the jurisdiction of Accredited Standards Com-mittee S1, Acoustic

32、s, which has the following scope:Standards, specifications, methods of measurement and test, and terminology,in the fields of physical acoustics, including architectural acoustics, electroa-coustics, sonics and ultrasonics, and underwater sound, but excluding thoseaspects which pertain to safety, hu
