Acoustics - Determination of sound absorption coefficient and impedance in impedances tubes - Part 2: Transfer-function method (ISO 10534-2:1998)

This test method covers the use of an impedance tube, two microphone locations and a digital frequency analysis system for the determination of the sound absorption coefficient of sound absorbers for normal sound incidence. It can also be applied for the determination of the acoustical surface impedance or surface admittance of sound absorbing materials. Since the impedance ratios of a sound absorptive material are related to its physical properties, such as airflow resistance, porosity, elasticity and density, measurements described in this test method are useful in basic research and product development.
The test method is similar to the test method specified in ISO 10534-1 in that it uses an impedance tube with a sound source connected to one end and the test sample mounted in the tube at the other end. However, the measurement technique is different. In this test method, plane waves are generated in a tube by a noise source, and the decomposition of the interference field is achieved by the measurement of acoustic pressures at two fixed locations using wall-mounted microphones or an in-tube traversing microphone, and subsequent calculation of the complex acoustic transfer function, the normal incidence absorption and the impedance ratios of the acoustic material. The test method is intended to provide an alternative, and generally much faster, measurement technique than that of ISO 10534-1.
Compared with the measurement of the sound absorption in a reverberation room according to the method specified in ISO 354, there are some characteristic differences. The reverberation room method will (under ideal conditions) determine the sound absorption coefficient for diffuse sound incidence, and the method can be used for testing of materials with pronounced structures in the lateral and normal directions. However, the reverberation room method requires test specimens which are rather large, so it is not convenient for research and development work, where only small samples of the absorber are available. The impedance tube method is limited to parametric studies at normal incidence but requires samples of the test object which are of the same size as the cross-section of the impedance tube. For materials that are locally reacting, diffuse incidence sound absorption coefficients can be estimated from measurement results obtained by the impedance tube method. For transformation of the test results from the impedance tube method (normal incidence) to diffuse sound incidence, see annex F.

Bauakustik - Bestimmung des Schallabsorptionsgrades und der Impedanz in Impedanzrohren - Teil 2: Verfahren mit Übertragungsfunktion (ISO 10534-2:1998)

Dieses Prüfverfahren behandelt die Bestimmung des Schallabsorptionsgrades von Schallabsorbern bei senkrechtem Schalleinfall unter Anwendung eines Impedanzrohres, zweier Mikrophonorte sowie eines digitalen Frequenzanalysesystems. Es kann auch zur Bestimmung der akustischen Oberflächenimpedanz oder Oberflächenadmittanz von schallabsorbierenden Werkstoffen eingesetzt werden. Da die Impedanzverhältnisse eines schallabsorbierenden Werkstoffs mit seinen physikalischen Eigenschaften, wie Luftströmungswiderstand, Porosität, Elastizität und Dichte in Beziehung stehen, sind die für dieses Prüfverfahren beschriebenen Messungen in der Grundlagenforschung und Produktentwicklung anwendbar.
Das Prüfverfahren ist dem in ISO 10534-1 beschriebenen insofern ähnlich, dass ein Impedanzrohr verwendet wird, das an einem Ende eine Schallquelle besitzt und am anderen Ende der Prüfling befestigt wird. Das Messverfahren ist jedoch ein anderes. Bei diesem Prüfverfahren werden mit einem Rauschgenerator ebene Wellen im Rohr erzeugt und die Zerlegung des Interferenzfeldes wird durch Messung des akustischen Druckes an zwei festen Orten erreicht, wobei an der Wand befestigte Mikrophone oder ein im Rohr querstehendes Mikrophon verwendet werden, sowie anschließender Berechnung der komplexen akustischen Übertragungsfunktion, der Absorption bei senkrechtem Einfall und der Impedanzverhältnisse des akustischen Werkstoffs. Dieses Prüfverfahren ist im Vergleich mit dem in ISO 10534-1 behandelten ein alternatives und im allgemeinen viel schnelleres Messverfahren.
Verglichen mit der Messung des Schallabsorptionsgrades in einem Hallraum nach ISO 354 bestehen einige charakteristische Unterschiede. Beim Hallraumverfahren wird (unter idealisierten Bedingungen) der Schallabsorptionsgrad bei diffusem Schalleinfall bestimmt und kann für die Prüfung von Werkstoffen mit ausgeprägter Struktur in seitlicher und senkrechter Richtung angewendet werden.

Acoustique - Détermination du facteur d'absorption acoustique et de l'impédance des tubes d'impédance - Partie 2: Méthode de la fonction de transfert (ISO 10534-2:1998)

La présente méthode d'essai traite de l'utilisation du tube d'impédance, de deux emplacements de microphones et d'un système d'analyse de la fréquence numérique pour la détermination du facteur d'absorption acoustique des absorbants acoustiques sous incidence acoustique normale. Elle peut, de plus, être utilisée pour déterminer de l'impédance acoustique en surface ou l'admittance en surface des matériaux acoustiques absorbants. Dans la mesure où les rapports d'impédance d'un matériau acoustique absorbant sont liés à ses caractéristiques physiques, telles que la résistance à l'air, la porosité, l'élasticité et la densité, les mesurages décrits dans la présente méthode d'essai sont utiles pour la recherche fondamentale et le développement des produits.
La méthode d'essai est identique à la méthode d'essai ISO 10534-1 en ce sens qu'elle utilise un tube d'impédance avec une source sonore connectée à une extrémité et l'échantillon d'essai monté dans le tube au niveau de l'autre extrémité. Cependant, la technique de mesurage est différente. Dans cette méthode d'essai, les ondes planes sont générées dans un tube par une source de bruit, et la décomposition du champ d'interférence s'effectue par le mesurage des pressions acoustiques en deux emplacements fixes utilisant des microphones montés sur des parois ou un microphone transversal au tube, puis par le calcul de la fonction complexe de transfert acoustique, de l'absorption à incidence normale et des rapports d'impédance du matériau acoustique. La méthode d'essai est destinée à fournir une technique de mesurage alternative et plus rapide que celle décrite dans l'ISO 10534-1.
Il existe certaines différences caractéristiques par comparaison au mesurage de l'absorption acoustique dans une salle réverbérante selon la méthode d'essai ISO 354. La méthode en salle réverbérante déterminera, dans des conditions idéales, le facteur d'absorption acoustique sous incidence diffuse, et la méthode peut être utilisée pour l'essai des matériaux dont les structures dans le sens latéral et normal sont bien définies. Cependant, la méthode dite de la salle réverbérante nécessite des éprouvettes relativement grandes; elle ne convient donc pas aux travaux de recherche et de développement, pour lesquels seule une petite quantité d'échantillons de l'absorbant sont disponibles. La méthode du tube d'impédance est limitée aux études paramétriques sous incidence normale mais nécessite des échantillons de l'objet en essai, d'une taille équivalente à la section droite du tube d'impédance. Pour les matériaux à réaction locale, les facteurs d'absorption acoustique sous incidence diffuse peuvent être évalués à partir des résultats de mesurage obtenus par la méthode du tube d'impédance. Voir l'annexe F pour la transformation des résultats d'essai à partir de la méthode du tube d'impédance (incidence normale) pour la diffusion de l'incidence acoustique.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 10534-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 2, Building acoustics.
ISO 10534 consists of the following parts, under the general title
Acoustics — Determination of sound absorption coefficient and impedance
in impedance tubes:
— Part 1: Method using standing wave ratio

3 Principle
The test sample is mounted at one end of a straight, rigid, smooth and airtight impedance tube. Plane waves are
generated in the tube by a sound source (random, pseudo-random sequence, or chirp), and the sound pressures
are measured at two locations near to the sample. The complex acoustic transfer function of the two microphone
signals is determined and used to compute the normal-incidence complex reflection factor (see annex C), the
normal-incidence absorption coefficient, and the impedance ratio of the test material.
The quantities are determined as functions of the frequency with a frequency resolution which is determined from
the sampling frequency and the record length of the digital frequency analysis system used for the measurements.
The usable frequency range depends on the width of the tube and the spacing between the microphone positions.
An extended frequency range may be obtained from the combination of measurements with different widths and
spacings.
The measurements may be performed by employing one of two techniques:
1:   two-microphone method (using two microphones in fixed locations);
2:   one-microphone method (using one microphone successively in two locations).
Technique 1 requires a pre-test or in-test correction procedure to minimize the amplitude and phase difference
characteristics between the microphones; however, it combines speed, high accuracy, and ease of
implementation. Technique 1 is recommended for general test purposes.
Technique 2 has particular signal generation and processing requirements and may require more time; however, i
