ASA S12.54-1999/ISO 3744:1994 (R2004)
Acoustics - Determination of Sound Power Levels of Noise Sources Using Sound Pressure - Engineering Method in an Essentially Free Field Over a Reflecting Plane
standard by American National Standards of the Acoustical Society of America, 10/18/1999
Full Description
This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the sound pressure levels on a measurement surface enveloping a noise source, under essentially free-field conditions near one or more reflecting planes, in order to calculate the sound power level produced by the noise source. It gives requirements for the test environment and instrumentation, as well as techniques for obtaining the surface sound pressure level from which the sound power level of the source is calculated, leading to results which have a grade 2 accuracy.
