Overview

EN ISO 9053-1:2018 - "Acoustics - Determination of airflow resistance - Part 1: Static airflow method" - defines a standard test method for measuring the static airflow resistance of porous materials used in acoustical applications. The method measures the pressure drop across a test specimen under a controlled, unidirectional (laminar) airflow to determine airflow resistance, specific airflow resistance, airflow resistivity and related properties important for sound absorption and acoustic design.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and principle
  • Measurement of static airflow resistance in a laminar flow regime by recording the pressure difference across the specimen while controlling the volumetric airflow.
• Test specimens
  • Typical specimen shapes: circular cylinders or rectangular parallelepipeds. Dimensions are selected to match the measurement cell; thickness is measured in-situ.
• Measurement cell and flow conditions
  • Cell may be cylindrical or rectangular (square cross-section preferred). Minimum diameter or smallest edge: 29 mm.
  • Cell geometry and clearances must allow essentially laminar, unidirectional flow (recommended free space ahead/behind the specimen).
• Equipment
  • Required devices: steady airflow generator (vacuum or pressurization), volumetric airflow meter, differential pressure transducer, thickness gauge, and a specimen support (perforated support or wire grid).
  • Support requirements: minimum open area 50%, holes at least 3 mm diameter, and support airflow resistance should be negligible (document requires support resistance to be less than 1% of specimen resistance).
  • Measurement devices should be calibrated at least once every 2 years.
• Definitions and relations
  • Airflow resistance R = Δp / qv (Pa·s·m⁻³), specific airflow resistance Rs = R × A (Pa·s·m⁻¹), airflow resistivity σ = Rs / d (Pa·s·m⁻²), and permeability k0 = η / σ (η = dynamic viscosity of air ≈ 1.82×10⁻⁵ N·s·m⁻² at 20 °C).
• Documentation
  • Test procedure, precision, and required information for the test report are specified.

Applications and users

• Useful for manufacturers and developers of porous acoustic materials (fibrous absorbers, felt, foam, insulation).
• Employed by acoustic consultants, test laboratories, product certification bodies, and R&D teams to:
  • Characterize material airflow resistivity for acoustic modeling and sound absorption predictions.
  • Verify product performance and support product specifications for building acoustics, HVAC noise control and automotive or industrial acoustic treatments.
• Inputs from EN ISO 9053-1 are commonly used in acoustic material selection, simulation, and quality control.
