PD CEN/TS 16272-7:2015CEN/TS 16272-7:2015 (E) 5 Introduction The purpose of insertion loss measurements is to have an indication of the “efficiency” of the complete installation in attenuating noise from a technical point of view, as is usu
40、ally done with calculations. The insertion loss is not intended to compare products; in fact, it is site-dependent, so that the same product may give different results when installed on different sites. In order to be representative, these measurements need to be done in well-defined conditions rega
41、rding: the noise source (number and type of trains, speed, etc.); the meteorological window; the measurement time; the reference time, i.e. the time over which the measured insertion loss is evaluated based on the measurement results. When it is not possible to carry out measurements before the cons
42、truction of the noise barrier, an “equivalent” site is used for the “before” measurements. The assessment of insertion loss limiting values is out of the scope of this Technical Specification. PD CEN/TS 16272-7:2015CEN/TS 16272-7:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies methods for
43、the determination of insertion loss of outdoor noise barriers intended to shield railway noise. It specifies detailed procedures for in situ measurement of barrier insertion loss including microphone positions, source conditions and acoustic environments of the measurement sites. This Technical Spec
44、ification allows one to measure the insertion loss of a given noise barrier at a given site including given meteorological conditions. It does not make it possible to compare insertion loss values of an equivalent barrier at a different site. It can be used for comparing insertion loss values of dif
45、ferent types of barriers at the same site under given meteorological conditions by the “direct method”. This Technical Specification gives a method for determining insertion loss: a) from the level difference before and after the installation of noise barriers (the “direct method”); b) when the dire
46、ct method is not applicable, because a barrier has already been installed, using an “indirect method“ to estimate the sound pressure levels before installation of the barrier by measurement at another site which has been judged to be equivalent. For equivalent sites, a close match is required in sou
47、rce characteristics, microphone locations, terrain profiles ground surface characteristics, surrounding artificial structures and meteorological conditions. This Technical Specification prescribes principles for ensuring that sufficiently equivalent conditions are maintained between “before” and “af
48、ter” cases to permit certain, reliable and repeatable determination of barrier insertion loss. This Technical Specification does not cover the determination of the intrinsic acoustic characteristics of the barrier, for example the sound insulation index and the sound absorption coefficient. The equi
49、valent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level and one-third-octave band sound pressure level are used as noise descriptors. This Technical Specification can be used for routine determination of barrier performance or for engineering or diagnostic evaluation. It can be used in situations where the barrier is to be installed or has already been installed. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document an
