ASA S12.17-1996 (R2020)
American National Standard for Impulse Sound Propagation for Environmental Noise Assessment
standard by American National Standards of the Acoustical Society of America, 08/08/1996
Full Description
This Standard describes engineering methods to calculate the propagation of high-energy impulsive sounds through the atmosphere for purposes of assessment of environmental noise. The methods yield estimates for the mean C-weighted sound exposure level of impulsive sound at distances between the source and receiver ranging from 1 to 30 km. Equations to estimate the standard deviation about the mean C-weighted sound exposure levels are provided. The methods apply for explosive masses between 50 g and 1000 kg.
