Introduction

ISO 10140 (all parts) concerns laboratory measurement of the sound insulation of building elements

(see Table 1).

ISO 10140-1 specifies the application rules for specific elements and products, including specific

requirements for preparation, mounting, operating and test conditions. ISO 10140-2 and ISO 10140-3

contain the general procedures for airborne and impact sound insulation measurements, respectively,

and refer to ISO 10140-4 and this part of ISO 10140 where appropriate. For elements and products

without a specific application rule described in ISO 10140-1, it is possible to apply ISO 10140-2 and

ISO 10140-3. ISO 10140-4 contains basic measurement techniques and processes. This part of ISO 10140

contains requirements for test facilities and equipment. For the structure of ISO 10140 (all parts), see

Table 1.

ISO 10140 (all parts) was created to improve the layout for laboratory measurements, ensure

consistency and simplify future changes and additions regarding mounting conditions of test elements

in laboratory and field measurements. It is intended for ISO 10140 (all parts) to present a well-written

and arranged format for laboratory measurements.
It is intended to update ISO 10140-1 with application rules for other products.

4 Laboratory test facilities for airborne sound insulation measurements
4.1 General

The laboratory test facility shall consist of two adjacent reverberant rooms with a test opening between

them, in which the test element is inserted.

The area of the test opening can vary depending on the type of test element. This part of ISO 10140

defines full-sized test openings, a specific small-sized test opening and alternative reduced-size test

openings.

For measurement of the improvement of sound reduction index by acoustical linings, these rooms shall

be separated by a standard basic element on which the lining under test is installed (see Annex B).

4.2 Test rooms
4.2.1 Volume

The volumes of the test rooms shall be at least 50 m . Volumes and corresponding dimensions of the

two test rooms should not be exactly the same. A difference of at least 10 % in room volumes and in the

linear dimensions is recommended.

Choose the ratios of the room dimensions such that the eigen mode frequencies in the low-frequency

bands are spaced as uniformly as possible.

When measuring the sound insulation of walls or floors, theoretical calculation as well as experiments

have indicated that the test element should cover a total partition wall or ceiling of the test room, i.e.

the test opening should extend from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling. In such a case, a volume of

3 3
50 m to 60 m is appropriate in view of the recommended size of the test opening.
4.2.2 Diffusion

Large variations of the sound pressure level in the room indicate the presence of dominating strong

standing waves. In this case, diffusing elements shall be installed in the rooms. The positioning and

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 10140-5:2020
ISO/DIS 10140-5:2020(E)

number of diffusing elements should be arranged in such a way that the sound reduction index is not

influenced when further diffusing elements are installed.

NOTE For some kinds of test element, as for elements with one surface significantly more absorbent than the

other (see ISO 10140-2), the installation of diffusing elements is mandatory.
4.2.3 Reverberation time

The reverberation time in the rooms under normal test conditions (with negligible absorption by the

test element) should not be excessively long or short. When the reverberation time at frequencies at

and above 100 Hz exceeds 2 s or is less than 1 s, check whether the measured sound reduction index

depends on the reverberation time. When such a dependence is found, even with diffusers in the rooms,

the rooms shall be modified to adjust the reverberation time, T, such that:
23/
12≤≤TV()/50 (1)
where
V is the value of the room volume, in cubic metres;
T is the reverberation time, in seconds.
Measurement of the reverberation time is given in ISO 10140-4.
4.2.4 Background noise

The background noise level in the receiving room shall be sufficiently low to permit measurements of the

sound transmitted from the source room, considering the power output in the source room and the sound

insulation of the test elements for which the laboratory is intended (see ISO/DIS 10140-4:2020, 4.3).

4.2.5 Suppression of flanking transmission

In laboratory test facilities designed for measuring the sound reduction index, the sound transmitted

by any indirect path should be negligible compared with the sound transmitted through the test

element. One approach to achieve this in such facilities is to provide sufficient structural isolation

between source and receiving rooms. Another approach is to cover all surfaces of both rooms with

linings that reduce the flanking transmission in such a way that the requirements on room volumes and

reverberation times are still met.

Annex A gives methods for estimating the maximum achievable sound reduction index, R´ , which is

max
determined by indirect paths.
4.3 Test opening

A horizontal and a vertical full-sized test opening, as well as a specific vertical small-sized test opening

are defined. Other reduced-size test openings may be applied under certain restrictions.

4.3.1 Full-sized test opening
2 2

The area of the full-sized test opening shall be approximately 10 m for walls, and between 10 m and

20 m for floors, with the length of the shorter edge being not less than 2,3 m for both walls and floors.

4.3.1.1 General frame specification

The measured sound reduction index of a test element can be affected by the connections to the

laboratory structure surrounding the element. The mass ratio of the tested structure to the surrounding

structure should be taken into consideration. For tests on lightweight structures (m < 150 kg/m ),

© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 10140-5:2020
ISO/DIS 10140-5:2020(E)

there are no special requirements to be taken into account. For heavier structures under test, it should

be ensured that the loss factor, η, of the test element is not less than that given by Equation (2):

03,
η =+00, 1 (2)
min
where
f is the test frequency value, in hertz.

To check this requirement, use as the test element a brick or block wall having a mass of (400 ± 40) kg/

m plastered on one side. Measurement of the loss factor is given in ISO 10140-4.
4.3.1.2 Specific requirements on the frame for lightweight twin-leaf partitions

With lightweight twin-leaf partitions, the sound reduction index is affected by vibration transmission

between the wall leaves via the frame of the test opening (see Figure 1). This is influenced by the

mounting conditions in the laboratory test opening and by the material properties and dimensions of

the frame(s). Vibration transmission between the coupled structures of the partition itself (e.g. common

or coupled studs) is dependent on the specific construction of the partition and is a property of the test

element itself. This vibration transmission is not treated in this part of ISO 10140.

In order to improve the reproducibility of the sound reduction index between laboratories for walls,

guidance is given for the mass per unit area of the frame of the test opening. If there is an acoustic break

in the laboratory test opening, the frame on one side of that break should be considered. The mass per

unit area of the frame shall be much larger than the mass per unit area of the heaviest leaf of the double

partition. The ratio of the mass per unit area of the heaviest leaf of the double partition to that of the

frame of the test opening shall be at least 1 : 6. The minimum thickness of the frame should be 100 mm

and the minimum depth should be 200 mm. The frame shall have a density of at least 2 000 kg/m .

The cross-sectional surface mass shall be more than 450 kg/m . In addition, the frame(s) shall consist

of a homogeneous, massive construction, such as dense concrete or masonry. Wood or metal frames

connecting the two leaves shall not be used.

The surface mass per unit area is calculated from the density, ρ, and the thickness, t, of the elements, as

shown in Figure 2, using Equations (3) and (4):
mt=ρ (3)
LL L
where

is the mass per unit area of the test facility wall, in kilograms per square metre;

ρ is the density of the test facility wall, in kilograms per cubic metre;
t is the thickness of the test facility wall, in metres.
mt′ =ρ (4)
ee e
where
m is the mass per unit area of the element, in kilograms per square metre;
ρ is the density of the element, in kilograms per cubic metre;
t is the thickness of the element, in metres.
