13、n National Standard Engineering Method for the Determination of Sound Power Levels of Noise Sources Using Sound Intensity. ANSI 512 .12- 1992 (ASA Catalog No. 104 1992). This American National Standard contains procedures for the determination of the sound power of noise sources from sound intensity

14、 measurements. Previous sound power determinations required special facilities such as anechoic, hem i-anechoic, or reverberation rooms and the estimation of the sound power of sources from sound pressure measurements which resulted in various errors. Using this new standard, the sound power of nois

15、e sources ca n be directly determined from sound intensity mea surements made in situ even when intrusive background noise is present in the envi ronment. The approaches in this standard are useful also for the relative ranking of machinery noise sources in terms of sound power. This standard was de

16、veloped using the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee Procedure under the Secretariat of the Acoustical Society of America . Accredited Standards Committee S12, Noise, under whose jurisdiction this standard was developed, has the following scope: Standards, sp

17、ecifications, and terminology in the field of acoustical noise penaining 10 methods of measurement, evaluation, and control, including biological fety. tolerance. and comfort, and phys ical acoustics as related to environmental and occupational noise. At the time this standard was submitted to Accre

21、 signifi can t parasitic noise. With low or moderate values of para sitic noise, D 2 t = o. Indicator D 22 is a measure of the signal-to-noise ra tio, if the room effect noise can be neglected. With this assumption, D 22 10 dB implies that the background noise is negligi ble, while D 22 0 implies sp

22、atial variations of the field. The spa tial variation may be due to source directivity or the presence of parasitic noise. Indicator D 26 is similar to D25, but is less sensiti ve to source directivity. Indicator D27 is similar to 6WN and can be used to con firm that parasitic noise does not influen

23、ce the sound power determination. Provided that the amount of additional absorption introduced into the measure men! environment is significant, values for D 27 less than the tolerance values for 6W N given in Table 5 of this standard imply that the effects of parasitic noise are negligible. When D

24、27 is reported, an estimate of the fractional change in absorption introduced into the test environment must be reported also. To reduce the apparent parasitic noise, one or more of the following steps may be helpful. 1. Reduce the actual background noise by shielding the background noise sources. 2

25、. Reduce reverberant sound by increasing the ab sorption in the measurement environment. (Caution: Do not place absorption ins ide the measurement surface.) 3. Increase the proportion of direct sound from the source by reducing the average measurement distance. 4. Modify the shape of the measure men

26、t surface with the objective that the su rface be everywhere nor mal to the direction of sound propagation from the subject source. 16 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD 8.3 Surface Averaging Accuracy Indicators, D3 The D 3 indicators can be used to demonstrate that the measurement surface has been adequate

27、ly sampled andlor that scanning, if used, gives accurate results: D31=ILw-L1 lr,-r;1 aod D32=ILw-L1 =II, - lil, where Lw and II are the sound power and surface sound in tcnsity levels, respectively, L and L i indicate values obtained using four times as many measurement locations as for Lw and II, L

28、 and I; indicate values obtained using the same number of measurement locations as for Lw and I/ but at dilferent positions on the measurement surface. Both D3 indicators are similar to /)w,“ Values or D 31 and D 32 less than the tolerance values for 8W N given in Table 5 of this standard imply that

29、 the surface averaging is adequate. If sampling at fixed points is used, it is im portant that there be a sufficient number of measurement loca tions to avoid spatial undersampling. This can be checked by evaluating the indicator with a different number of measurement locations. If scanning is used,

30、 the D 31 indicator is preferred over D 32 for evaluating the accuracy of scanning. For either indicator, care must be taken to ensure that the scanning pattern is different for the two sound power level (or surface sound intensity level) determinations. For D 31 it is recommended that the measuring

31、 loca tions for the two determinat ions be selected in such a way that each larger area coincides with four smaller ones, and that these four have equal areas and meet at the centroid of the larger area. 8.4 Sound Power Accuracy Indicators, 04 With the assumption that the sound intensity mea suring

32、instrumentation is functioning correctly, the following indicators may be useful in evaluating the accuracy of the sound power level determined using this standard: D41 = ILw-LI, D 42 = L . lOo.IL . s (see definition of L, given in Sec. 8.2), where Lw and L are the sound power levels determined us i

33、ng two different measurement surfaces, and D42 is an estimate of the level of the normalized stan dard deviation of the sound power over an ensemble of measurement surfaces. It is recommended that the measurement surfaces be as different in size and shape as practicable. The measurement su rfaces mu

34、st be reported with these indicators. B.5 Phase Indicators, 05 Two kinds of phase difference are important in in tensity measurements: (I) the phase difference be tween the acoustic pressure and velocity, and (2) the phase difference between the quantities measured by two instrumentation channels. T

35、hese may, or may not, be identical. They must be compared with the capabil i ty of the instrumentation used. The following indica tors may be useful: D5l = (Lw - L ;“)12, D 52 = 5p; lo - 5p; . D53 = 5p; , ,nd D54 = 510gw ? -ur/l! 12 , where L w is the sound power level and L indicates the sound powe

36、r level determined as for L w but with the intensity probe oriented to measure in the oppo site direction, i.e., the component of intensity nor mal to the measurement surface but in the direction toward the source, 5p; is the pressure-intensity index: 5p; = Lp - L/ - 10 logln(Pcl(p), where Lp = the

37、sound pressure level, L/ = the sound intensity level, pc = the characteristic impedance, 10= the reference intensity, I pW/m2, and Pn = the reference sound pressure, 20,uPa, ANSI 512.12-1992 17 Bpo 10 is the pressure-intensity index measured in a pressure chamber, and pr and i? are the mean-square s

38、ound pressure and particle velocity, respectively. Indicator D 51 is useful when intensity is measured using the “two-microphone method.“ Subject to the usual measurement uncertainties for small phase mis match. indicator D 51 is the error, in decibels, in the sound power level due to instrumentatio

39、n channel phase mismatch. Indicator D 52 is useful to evaluate the capability of certain “two-microphone method“ intensity devices to accurately measure sound intensity. For such devices, if D 52 7 dB, the error in measured sound intensity level for a plane wave due to instrumentation phase mismatch

40、 will be less than 1 dB. Indicator D 53 gives information about the differ ence in phase measured by the two channels of a “two microphone method“ intensity measuring system. This consists of the sum of the actual phase difference at the two microphone locations and the instrumentation channel phase

41、 mismatch. For D 53 to be useful, the in strumentation phase mismatch must be known and re ported. Indicator D 54 can serve a function similar to that of D 53 for certain “pressure-velocity method“ sound in tensity measuring devices. When the instrumentation phase mismatch is negligible, indicator D

42、 54 gives a measure of the phase difference between the sound pressure and the particle velocity. B.6 Averaging Time Sufficiency Indicators, 06 Four indicators, each based on an est imate of a level of normalized temporal standard deviation, may be useful: D62, L,l,), D63=L100,ILpl, and D64. = L IOO

43、IL, ) “ where L, Is I 10 10g,.( 1 + .t, IS. - 1;) l! I IN - )1; 1) , s,. represents an ensemble over time of dummy vari able 5, N is the number of 5 in the ensemble, I is the surface sound intensity, I ,. is the sound intensity at the jth measurement location, I p is the surface sound pressure level

44、, and Lpo is the sound pressure level at the ilh measure ment location. These indicators must be evaluated using the actual measurement averaging time. The measured quantity must be measured a number of times N. which should be as large as practicable and not less than three. If indicator D62,. or D

45、64,. is used, several measurement locations should be sampled to ensure that reported values are typical for the measurement surface. In gen eral, the indicator should be determined with the sub ject source, and all background sources, operating as for a sound power determination. These indicators a

46、re similar to the D I indicators, and the suggestions given in Sec. B.l apply if the D 6 indicator values are excessive. B.7 Measurement Interference Indicators, 07 To obtain an accurate sound power determination, the presence of measurement equipment and/or an op erator must not significantly influ

47、ence the measure ment. Particular care must be taken to ensure that ob jects that are moved during the course of testing do not result in inconsistent acoustical data. Three indi cators may be useful to evaluate the significance of interference: D7t = ILw -LI = II, - I,I, D72,. = IL r; - L 1;1 , and

48、 D73; = 10 logto IMax(/;) - Min(/;) I, 18 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD where Lw. I,. and ii, are the sound power level, surface sound intensity level, and sound intensity level al the ilh measurement location, respectively, ob tained in the usual manner, L;.“ I;, and L;, represent the same quantities

49、ob tained with special care to avoid interference, and I ; is the intensity at the ilh measurement location while various possible interfering objects are moved in the vicinity of the measurement location, and throughout the measurement environment. as they might be during the course of a usual sound power determination. Care should be taken to sample the measurement surface to ensure that values reported for D 72 and D 73 are typical. In general, small values for the D
