BS EN 16272-6:2014EN 16272-6:2014 (E) 5 Introduction Noise barriers installed along
27、 railways need to provide adequate sound insulation so that sound transmitted directly through the device is not significant compared to the sound diffracted over the top. This European Standard specifies a test method for assessing the airborne sound insulation performance of noise barriers and rel
28、ated devices acting on airborne sound propagation designed for railways in non-reverberant conditions (a measure of intrinsic performance). It can be applied in situ, i.e. where the noise barriers are installed. The method can be applied without damaging the surface. The method can be used to qualif
29、y products to be installed along railways as well as to verify the compliance of installed noise barriers to design specifications. Regular application of the method can be used to verify the long term performance of noise barriers. The method requires the averaging of results of measurements taken
30、at different points behind the device under test. The method is able to investigate flat and non-flat products. The measurement results of this method for airborne sound insulation are comparable but not identical with the results of the EN 16272-2 method, mainly because the present method uses a di
31、rectional sound field, while the EN 16272-2 method assumes a diffuse sound field (where all angles of incidence are equally probable). The test method described in this European Standard should not be used to determine the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation for noise barriers to
32、be installed in reverberant conditions, e.g. inside tunnels or deep trenches or under covers or very close to the rail track. For the purpose of this European standard reverberant conditions are defined based on the geometric envelope, e, across the rail formed by the barriers, trench sides or build
33、ings (the envelope does not include the railway surface) as shown by the dashed lines in Figure 1. Conditions are defined as being reverberant when the percentage of open space in the envelope is less than or equal to 25 %, i.e.: Reverberant conditions occur when w/e 0,25, where e = (w + h1+ h2) Thi
34、s criterion is applied also to the open space between the train body and the barrier surface.

36、dition check in six cases This European Standard introduces a specific quantity, called sound insulation index, to define the airborne sound insulation of a noise barrier. This quantity should not be confused with the sound reduction index used in building acoustics, sometimes also called transmissi
37、on loss. Research studies suggest that a very good correlation exists BS EN 16272-6:2014EN 16272-6:2014 (E) 7 between data measured according to EN 16272-2 and data measured according to the method described in the present document. This method may be used to qualify noise barriers for other applica
38、tions, e.g. to be installed along roads or nearby industrial sites. In this case the single-number ratings should be calculated using an appropriate spectrum. BS EN 16272-6:2014EN 16272-6:2014 (E) 8 1 Scope This European Standard describes a test method for measuring a quantity representative of the
39、 intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation for railway noise barriers: the sound insulation index. The test method is intended for the following applications: determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise barriers to be installed along railways, to
40、 be measured either on typical installations alongside railways or on a relevant sample section; determination of the in situ intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise barriers in actual use; comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion
41、of the construction work; verification of the long term performance of noise barriers (with a repeated application of the method); interactive design process of new products, including the formulation of installation manuals. The test method is not intended for the following applications: determinat
42、ion of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise barriers to be installed in reverberant conditions, e.g. inside tunnels or deep trenches or under covers. Results are expressed as a function of frequency in one-third octave bands, where possible, between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. I
43、f it is not possible to get valid measurement results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results will be given in a restricted frequency range and the reasons for the restriction(s) will be clearly reported. All noise reducing devices different from noise barriers and related devices acti
44、ng on airborne sound propagation, e.g. devices for attenuation of ground borne vibration and on board devices are out of the scope of this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its
