4、ment of Underwater Sound from Ships - Part 1: General Requirements Secretariat: Acoustical Society of America Approved September 30, 2009 by: American National Standards Institute, Inc. Abstract This standard describes the measurement systems, procedures, and methodologies used for the beam aspect m
5、easurement of underwater sound pressure levels from ships for a given operating condition. The resulting quantities are reported as nominal source level values in one-third octave bands. It does not require the use of a specific ocean location, but the requirements for an ocean test site are provide
6、d. The underwater sound pressure level measurements are performed in the far-field and then corrected to a reference distance of 1 m. This standard is applicable to any and all surface vessels either manned or unmanned. This standard is not applicable to submerged vessels or to aircraft. Measurement
7、 systems are described for measurement of underwater sound pressure levels and also the distance or range between the underwater transducers and the subject vessel. Processing and reporting of the data are described, and informational guidance is provided. This standard does not specify or provide g

AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS ON ACOUSTICS The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) provides the Secretariat for Accredited Standards Committees S1 on Acoustics, S2 on Mechanical Vibration and Shock, S3 on Bioacoustics, S3/SC 1 on Animal Bioacoustics, and S12 on No
9、ise. These committees have wide representation from the technical community (manufacturers, consumers, trade associations, organizations with a general interest, and government representatives). The standards are published by the Acoustical Society of America as American National Standards after app
10、roval by their respective Standards Committees and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards are developed and published as a public service to provide standards useful to the public, industry, and consumers, and to Federal, State, and local governments. Each of the Accredite
11、d Standards Committees (operating in accordance with procedures approved by ANSI) is responsible for developing, voting upon, and maintaining or revising its own Standards. The ASA Standards Secretariat administers Committee organization and activity and provides liaison between the Accredited Stand
12、ards Committees and ANSI. After the Standards have been produced and adopted by the Accredited Standards Committees, and approved as American National Standards by ANSI, the ASA Standards Secretariat arranges for their publication and distribution. An American National Standard implies a consensus o
13、f those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but
14、 not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of an American National Standard is completely voluntary. Their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has ap
15、proved the Standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standards. NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require th
16、at action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this Standard.

30、Acoustical Society of America All rights reserved v Introduction This part of ANSI/ASA S12.64 was written to provide a standardized measurement method for the quantification and qualification of a ships underwater (radiated) noise. More specific discussions of advanced measurement systems, along wit
31、h technical rationale and tradeoffs, and computation examples will be included in subsequent parts of this standard. Future parts will also contain recommendations concerning issues such as hydrophone suspension, narrowband processing and reporting, shallow water measurements, and factors that affec
32、t the uncertainty and repeatability of the data. Reduction of all types of vessel emissions has become an issue in the past ten years, most notably ballast water and engine emissions. More recently, these emissions have included underwater noise for the purpose of reducing the impact on marine anima
33、ls. Excessive underwater noise has the potential to interfere with a marine animals ability to perform a variety of critical life functions such as navigate, communicate, find food, etc. Thus, the environmental impact statements of underwater projects (e.g., pile driving, pipe laying, oil exploratio
34、n) now include assessments of underwater noise impacts. This standard should help promote consistency among those reporting sound measurements from shipping sources.

35、dard Quantities and Procedures for Description and Measurement of Underwater Sound from Ships - Part 1: General Requirements 1 Scope This part of ANSI/ASA S12.64 describes the general measurement systems, procedures, and methodologies used for the measurement of underwater sound pressure levels from
36、 ships at a prescribed operating condition. It contains methodology for the reporting of one-third octave band sound pressure levels. The resulting quantities are the sound pressure levels normalized to a distance of 1 m. Since the underwater sound pressure levels are affected by the presence of the
37、 free surface (and sometimes the bottom), such quantities are considered “affected source levels,” herein referred to as source levels. The underwater sound pressure level measurements are performed in the geometric far field and then adjusted to the 1 m normalized distance for use in comparison wit
38、h appropriate underwater noise criteria. However, this standard does not specify or provide guidance on underwater noise criteria or address the potential effects of noise on marine organisms. This standard is applicable to any and all underway surface vessels, either manned or unmanned. The methods
39、 have no inherent limitation on minimum or maximum vessel size. This standard is not applicable to submerged vessels or to aircraft. This standard is limited to vessels transiting at speeds no greater than 50 knots (25.70 m/s). The measurement methods mitigate the variability caused by Lloyds Mirror
40、 surface image coherence effects (see 3.16), but do not exclude a possible influence of bottom reflections. No specific computational adjustments for either of these effects are part of this standard. A specific ocean location is not required to use this standard, but the requirements for an ocean t
41、est site are provided. The intended uses of the methods described in this standard are: to show compliance with contract requirements, to enable periodic signature assessments, and for research and development. The intended users include: government agencies, research vessel operators, and commercia
42、l vessel owners that need to operate in acoustically sensitive waters. This standard offers three grades of measurement, each with a stated applicability, test methodology, uncertainty, system repeatability, and complexity. A summary of the attributes of each “Grade” (denoted A, B, and C) is given i

46、oustic center position on the ship where it is assumed that all of the noise sources are co-located as a single point source 3.2 background noise noise from all sources (biotic and abiotic) other than the ship being measured NOTE See 6.2 for background noise adjustments. 3.3 beam aspect direction to
47、 either side of the ship under test NOTE Beam aspect is in reference to the location of the hydrophones. Another approach for hydrophone measurement (not applied here) is bottom aspect where the hydrophone(s) are mounted at or near the sea floor. 3.4 frequency response frequency range a system is ab
48、le to measure, for a given uncertainty and repeatability, from the lowest frequency to the highest stated frequency 3.5 closest point of approach (CPA) the point where the horizontal distance (during a test run) from the acoustic center of ship under test is the closest to the hydrophone(s) NOTE The
49、 distance at the closest point of approach is defined by the symbol dCPAas used in Equation (1). 3.6 COMEX (Commence Exercise) start test range location position of the vessel under test two times (2x) the “Start Data” distance ahead of the CPA NOTE See Figure 4. 3.7 data window angle angle subtended at the hydrophone, between the start data location and the end data location NOTE The data window angle is expressed as a value in degrees as shown in Figure 4. For all grades of measurement the data window angle is 30. ANSI/ASA S12.64-2009/P
