Printed in the United States of America AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS / TECHNICAL REPORTS By registering this ANSI Technical Report, the ANSI Board of Standards Review confirms that the requirements for due process, consensus, balance and openness have been met by AMT The Association For Manufac
4、turing Technology (the ANSI-accredited standards developing organization). American National Standards and Technical Reports are developed through a consensus process. Consensus is established when substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agre
5、ement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward resolution. This process brings together volunteers and/or seeks out the views of persons who have an interest in th
6、e topic covered by this publication. While AMT administers the process and establishes procedures to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not write the document and it does not independently test, evaluate or verify the accuracy or completeness of any information or the soundnes
7、s of any judgments contained in its standards or guidelines. American National Standards and Technical Reports are promulgated through ANSI for voluntary use; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether they have approved the standards/technical reports or not, from manufacturin
8、g, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the these documents. However, users, distributors, regulatory bodies, certification agencies and others concerned may apply American National Standards or Technical Reports as mandatory requirements in commerce a
9、nd industry. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards or technical reports and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of an American National Standard.

24、nes or machine production systems. Publication of this ANSI Technical Report has been approved by the Accredited Standards Developer AMT- The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This document is registered as a Technical Report according to the Procedures for the Registration of ANSI Technical
25、 Reports. This document is not an American National Standard and the material contained herein is informative, not normative in nature. Excessive sound exposures can, in some cases, result in a loss of hearing. These findings resulted in the promulgation of federal regulations which specifically est
26、ablished occupational and environmental sound level exposure limits. Therefore, reducing the amount of sound generated by machine tools has become another important design parameter for the machine supplier. To achieve that objective, all of the materially affected and interested parties (machine bu
27、ilders, component manufacturers, end-users, consultants etc.) involved must communicate using the same terms and procedures. To that end, in 1969 the National Machine Tool Builders Association (now, AMT-The Association For Manufacturing Technology) established a committee for the task of preparing a
28、n industry standard which would delineate suggested measuring techniques and procedures for determining sound emanating from machine tools. In 1970, the first edition of this document was published; it recommended a uniform method for measurement of sound created by machine tools. The technique was
29、very simple and in the ensuing years, it became widely accepted. Machine tool builders became familiar with the system for measuring the sound created by the machines and purchasers of machines began to reference the technique when they issued purchasing specifications for machinery. With use of the
30、 standard over a few years, modification and “fine tuning” of the measurement technique became desirable. Therefore, the ad hoc committee was re-established in 1973 to update the document. The second edition of the industry standard on measurement techniques was published in 1976. Since that time, t
31、he standard has enjoyed wide acceptance and use in general industry by suppliers and many end users, particularly in the specifications of equipment and machines. In early 2002, the ANSI B11 Accredited Standards Committee began discussing the potential need to revisit this (at that time, nearly 25+
32、year old) industry standard, and agreed to: 1) update and revise the document, and 2) elevate the status and developmental rigor of the document by incorporating it into the B11 series of machine safety documents as an ANSI Technical Report. The ANSI B11.TR5 Subcommittee first met in June 2004, and
33、by April 2005 essentially completed this Technical Report. Since the purpose of this document is to explain methods for measuring and recording machine sound levels that are most compatible with actual conditions encountered in industry, references to newer techniques in sound measurement and analys
34、is are included. Therefore, a discussion of time-weighted average sound levels has been added (Annex B) to assist the reader in understanding the sound dosage concept embodied in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Note that at this time a disagreement exists betwee
35、n OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as to the basis for computing sound dosage. However, this document takes no position regarding the controversy; Annex B has been incorporated for reference purposes only. This Technical Report is divided into four basic sections: Measurement (clau
36、se 4), Evaluation (clause 5), Documentation (clause 6), and Reporting (clause 7), and includes Annexes with reference information including a sample recording/documentation form, schematic measurement envelope, and 3/5 dB doubling allowable sound exposure, as well as an explanation of equivalent sou
37、nd pressure levels and estimating average levels. i ii Since certain aspects of the noise problem lack definition, this document should be used as a guide, capable of being modifed to suit the particular test situation. This document will be amended to incorporate improved techniques and procedures
38、as they are developed. Suggestions for improvement of this technical report are welcome and should be sent to: AMT, 7901 Westpark Drive, McLean, VA 22102-4206, Attention: Safety Director.

47、 pressure levels emitted by a machine or machine production system(s) during normal operation and when running at idle. This technical report provides guidance for measuring and recording machine sound pressure levels that are the most compatible with the actual conditions encountered in industry, a
48、nd allows the user to select equipment using buy-quiet purchase specifications or to estimate the effect particular machinery will have on existing sound pressure levels once it is installed in the users facility. Sound pressure levels emitted by machines or machine production systems is frequently
49、referred to as “noise.” This Technical Report considers the terms “Noise” and “Sound” as synonymous. 2 References The following references were either used as a basis for developing this document, or are good reference sources that may be consulted for additional information on a particular topic.
