7、2.1 pipe lagging systeman arrangement of noise insulat-ing materials used to cover a pipe to reduce noise radiatingfrom it.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Noise is produced inside a steel pipe located within areverberation room using band-limited white noise as a testsignal. The noise must be produced

8、 by a loudspeaker oracoustic driver located at one end of the pipe. Average soundpressure levels are measured within the reverberation room fortwo conditions, one with sound radiating from the bare pipeand the other with the same pipe covered with a laggingsystem. The insertion loss of the lagging s

9、ystem is thedifference in the sound pressure levels measured with soundradiating from the bare and lagged pipe, with an adjustment forchanges in room absorption due to the presence of the laggingsystem. The results may be obtained in a series of 100-Hz widebands or in one-third octave bands from 500

10、 to 5000 Hz. Using100-Hz wide bands will improve the signal-to-noise ratio in thereverberant room. This is frequently necessary when measur-ing specimens having high insertion loss.5. Significance and Use5.1 The insertion loss of a pipe lagging system dependsupon the lagging system materials, the me

11、thod used to applythe materials, the pipe wall thickness, the size and shape of thebare and lagged pipe, and the mechanisms causing noiseradiation from the pipe. Insertion losses measured using thistest method should be used with some caution. In thelaboratory, measurements must be made under reprod

12、ucibleconditions, but in practical usage in the field, the conditionsthat determine the effective insertion loss are difficult to predictand they may lead to slightly different results. Insertion lossesmeasured with this test method can be used successfully foracoustical design purposes. Insertion l

13、osses measured with thistest method are most useful for pipes and lagging systemswhich are similar to those used in the laboratory configuration.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee E33 on Buildingand Environmental Acoustics and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeE33

United States15.2 This test method may be used to rank-order pipe laggingsystems according to insertion loss or to estimate the fie

17、ldinsertion loss of pipe lagging systems installed in the field.5.3 This test method assumes that pipe wall stresses result-ing from different methods of supporting the test pipe in thelaboratory do not have a significant effect upon the measuredinsertion loss.5.4 Pipe lagging systems typically have

18、 small insertion loss,and sometimes negative insertion loss, at frequencies below500 Hz. The results obtained at frequencies below 500 Hz maybe somewhat erratic. Sound sources used with this test methodnormally have a low frequency limit in the range from 300 to500 Hz. For these reasons, the lowest

19、band of frequencies forwhich results are required is centered at 500 Hz.6. Interferences6.1 Flanking transmission may limit the maximum insertionlosses which can be reliably measured using this test method.The test pipe and reverberation room shall be constructed andarranged so as to minimize the po

20、ssibility of transmission bypaths other than through the test specimen. Flanking transmis-sion should be at least 10 dB lower than the power transmittedthrough the test specimen into the reverberation room. Appen-dix X1 presents one procedure for assessing flanking transmis-sion.6.2 The background n

21、oise in each test band must be at least10 dB below measured sound pressure levels for that band.7. Apparatus7.1 Reverberation RoomThe sound field in the reverbera-tion room shall approximate a diffuse field when the testspecimen is in place. The requirements for the reverberationroom are in Test Met

22、hod C423. The volume of the test roomshall be 2000 ft3or greater.7.1.1 The average sound absorption coefficients of theroom, excluding sound absorption by air and the test specimen,measured in accordance with Test Method C423, shall be lessthan 0.06 over the test frequency range when the test specim

23、enis in place.7.1.2 Diffusing devices such as rotating and stationarydiffusing surfaces are useful for creating an adequate diffusesound field.7.2 Pipe:7.2.1 ConstructionThe standard test pipe shall be at least13 ft long and mounted horizontally within the reverberationroom. It shall be a nominal 12

24、in. diameter carbon steel pipewith a nominal wall thickness of14 in.7.2.2 Other pipes may be used but they shall have a wallthickness of at least14 in., a nominal diameter of at least 6 in.,and shall be at least 13 diameters long.7.2.3 InstallationPotential flanking transmission can beminimized if

25、both ends of the pipe are outside of the rever-beration room. For this reason, this is the preferred method ofinstalling the pipe. Alternately, the loudspeaker end of the pipemay be located outside of the reverberation room. In this case,the other end of the pipe within the reverberation room must b

26、ecarefully constructed and mounted to avoid flanking transmis-sion. Any method of terminating the pipe may be usedprovided that adequately low levels of flanking transmissionare achieved. It is usually necessary to cap the end of the pipewithin the reverberation room with heavy structure and tovibra

27、tion-isolate the pipe end from the reverberation room flooror ceiling. The cap may be a blind flange, at least twice as thickas the pipe wall, welded to the end of the pipe.7.2.4 No solid connections may exist between the surfacesof the reverberation room and the pipe or test specimen. Aflexible, no

28、nhardening, knife grade mastic, such as availablefor sealing high-pressure ducts, should be used to seal the gapswhere the pipe passes through walls.7.3 Loudspeaker:7.3.1 TypeThe loudspeaker may be a horn-driver combi-nation or a direct radiator (cone type) loudspeaker. Normally,only acoustic driver

29、s with horns will have sufficient output forthe tests when high insertion losses are being measured.7.3.2 InstallationThe loudspeaker shall be placed on theopen end of the pipe outside the reverberation room. The hornof the loudspeaker must be structurally isolated from anycontact with the pipe wall

30、7.4 Reference Sound Source:7.4.1 A reference sound source is needed to permit adjust-ments for the change in sound absorption within the reverbera-tion room due to the lagging system.7.4.2 The sound from the reference source shall be broad-band noise without significant single-frequency components.

31、The maximum sound power level of any single frequencycomponent within a band should be at least 5 dB below thesound power level for that band.7.4.3 The source level in any band shall have a maximumshort-term time-variation of no greater than 2 dB measuredwith the slow dynamic characteristic of a sou

32、nd level meter orthe equivalent.7.4.4 The source shall be physically small, with a maximumdimension of less than 2 ft.7.4.5 The reference source may be a loudspeaker; if so, itshould be driven with bands of white noise and its sound poweroutput should be within the limits prescribed in 7.4.3.7.4.6 A

33、 preferred reference sound source is a modifiedcentrifugal fan, directly connected to a motor with stable speedcharacteristics. The sound power level of this source as afunction of frequency is adequately constant for this testmethod.57.4.7 The source should have a resilient mounting which issuitabl

34、y designed to prevent transmission of vibrations to thestructure on which it is mounted.5The sole sources of supply of the sound sources known to the committee at thistime are Brel and Kjer Instruments, Inc., 185 Forest St., Marlborough, MA 01752(Model 4204); ILG Industries, 2850 North Pulaski Road,

Test Specimen8.1 The test specimen shall be a pipe lagging systeminstalled on the bare pipe following normal mounting proce-dure. The system should be

37、 lapped and seamed following aprocedure similar to the one used in the field.8.2 If the pipe lagging system is usually installed with aseam, the test specimen shall have at least one seam around thecircumference and one longitudinal seam.8.3 The test specimen should be sealed where it butts to thewa

38、lls of the reverberation room or the capped end of the pipe.The flexible mastic used to seal gaps around the pipe is alsorecommended for this purpose. The mastic should not hardenwith age so as to cause flanking.9. Test Signal9.1 The loudspeaker shall be driven with bands of whitenoise. To avoid non

39、linearities, the total sound pressure levelshall not exceed 160 dB inside the pipe.9.2 The sound pressure level in the test band on the interiorof the pipe shall have a maximum short-term time-variation inany band no greater than 2 dB measured with the “slow”dynamic characteristic of a sound level m
