In-situ Absorption testing

Acoustic noise pollution can be reduced by absorbing sound energy. Absorbing material packages are used in many applications to attenuate sound. Knowing exactly the acoustic properties of your materials and the effectiveness of the applied material packages is a requirement to successfully reduce noise levels. The In-situ absorption setup is a solution to achieve just that

 FEATURES

  • Frequency range 300Hz – 10kHz
  • In situ method – Measurement of:
    • Impedance
    • Sound refection coefficient
    • Sound absorption coefficient
  • Non-destructive testing method
  • Flat & curved surfaces
  • Homogeneous & inhomogeneous materials
  • Normal & oblique angles of incidence

APPLICATIONS

  • Material sample testing
  • End-of-line Quality Control
  • Component testing
  • Trim package validation

With a small, handheld impedance gun the acoustic absorption, reflection or impedance can be measured in just a few minutes, broad band and under normal and oblique angles. With a sound source at 23cm from the probe, noise is generated towards the sample. The impedance gun is equipped with a system designed to decouple the sensors from structure born vibration generated by the spherical loudspeaker. The sound pressure and acoustic particle velocity are measured directly on the surface of the material. The absorption & reflection coefficient can be obtained directly from the measured impedance as the complex ratio of sound pressure to particle velocity.
