Significance and Use3.1 The sound transmission loss provided by a material thatcovers a flat surface depends not only on the physical proper-ties of
7、the material but also on the type of structure to which itis mounted and the mounting method used.3.2 Naval and marine architects and design engineers re-quire specific transmission loss characteristics of acousticaltreatment materials as they would exhibit installed on a shipsstructure. The mountin

Mounting Structure and Methods4.1 The mounting structure consis
9、ts of a fabricated alumi-num bulkhead. This bulkhead is designed to fit within a 2.44-m(8-ft) opening in the filler walls between the reverberationrooms of a test facility. Test result measurements due to theeffects of the filler walls may be accounted for as specified inTest Method E90. A larger mo
10、unting structure may be used ifit can be demonstrated that this structure yields results com-parable to the 2.44 by 2.44-m (8 by 8-ft) mounting structure.4.1.1 The bulkhead is fabricated in two sections, 1.22 by2.44 m (4 by 8 ft) and is fastened together by a 10.2 by 10.2 by10.2-cm (4 by 4 by 4-in.)
11、 aluminum I-beam.4.1.2 The coupling is accomplished by using 8-mm (516-in.)SAE grade B steel stove bolts, torqued to 3.33 m/kg (25 ft/lb).4.1.3 The 6.4-mm (14-in.) sheet aluminum panels, 1.22 by2.44 m (4 by 8 ft), are supported with 10.2 by 10.2 cm (4 by4 in.), 2.976-kg per linear metre (2-lb per li
12、near ft) tee beams.4.1.3.1 The tee beams are welded to the 6.4-mm (14-in.)aluminum sheets with welds on either side of the centermember of the tee at 53.3-cm (21-in.) intervals.4.1.3.2 Weld areas should be approximately 7.6 cm (3 in.)long. Welding in excess of these intervals may cause severewarpage
13、 of the bulkhead. The tee beams are positioned on thealuminum sheets to obtain a distance of 61 cm (2 ft) betweentee beam centers with the I-beam serving as the bulkheadcenter support.4.1.4 Fig. 1 illustrates the construction details. The bulkheadshall be installed with the smooth side facing the ac

Acoustical sealantshall be applied around the bulkhead edges, between the fillerwall and the bulkhead and the I-beam panel connector toensure an airtight seal. This seal should be confirmed byenergizing the acoustical source and listening for spuriousnoise t

Lightweight backing materials used in multiple-layer treatments generally will not require self-locking wash-ers.4.4 Acoustical treatment materials shall be
