ASTM E1110-2006(2011) Standard Classification for Determination of Articulation Class《声音清晰度等级测定的标准分类》.pdf

1、Designation: E1110 06 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Classification forDetermination of Articulation Class1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1110; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revis

2、ion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification provides a single figure rating thatcan be used for comparing building systems and subsystemsfor speech priv

3、acy purposes. The rating is designed to correlatewith transmitted speech intelligence between office spaces.1.2 Excluded from the scope of this classification areapplications involving female speakers or children,2languagesother than English, and sound spectra other than speech. Thusexcluded, for ex

4、ample, would be comparisons of buildingsystems or subsystems for their effectiveness in reducingtransmitted noise from machinery, industrial processes, bowl-ing alleys, music rooms, places of entertainment, and the like.NOTE 1Published work by Pearsons, et al, may eventually permit therestriction on

5、 female speakers to be relaxed.32.

Summary of Classification3.1 Articulation class (AC) is the

6、sum of the weighted soundattenuations in a series of 15 test bands. It is calculated asfollows:AC 5(fiAfi!wfi! (1)where:fi= the center frequency of the bands from 200 to 5000Hz,A(fi) = the measured attenuation in decibels in the one-third octave band with center frequency fi, andw(fi) = the weightin

7、g for that band, from Table 1.3.2 The sound attenuation for each band is determined inaccordance with Test Method E1111. In Test Method E1111interzone attenuation is substituted for sound attenuation.4. Significance and Use4.1 Each weighting factor given in Table 1 represents thefraction of overall

8、speech intelligence contained within theassociated one-third octave frequency band.4.2 The weighting factors in Table 1 are obtained bymultiplying each individual one-third octave band weightingfactor of ANSI S3.5-1969 by 300. Articulation class (AC)values are thus related to but distinctly differen

9、t from articu-lation index (AI) values. In particular, the AC considers onlythe effect of signal attenuation; while the AI considers suchadditional factors as speech level and spectrum and back-ground sound level and spectrum.NOTE 2The AC is similar to the DAI rating proposed by Warnock6and has been

10、 shown to correlate with AI values derived from ANSI S3.5,except where the AI approaches 1 or 0 (AI values range between 1 and 0and approach 0 with increasing privacy and nonintelligibility). Articula-tion class values give the reverse. They usually exceed 100 and increasewith increasing privacy and

11、 nonintelligibility. Extensive comparisonbetweenAC ratings and subjective judgments of open-plan speech privacyhas not yet been accomplished.5. Presentation of Results5.1 The AC shall be reported to the nearest multiple of ten.It is recommended that the AC be reported together with theunweighted sou

12、nd attenuation for each test frequency band andother data required for the appropriate sound attenuation testmethod.6.
