3、o measure the acoustical effectiveness of treatments that are intendedto reduce airborne noise on ships.Such treatments would be applied to compartment structuralpartitions such as bulkheads,decks,and side shells.To fully characterize the acoustical performanceof a treatment,five parameters must be
4、assessed:transmission loss,radiation efficiency,acceptance,absorption,and damping.This test method focuses on the assessment of the first three,and providesfor convenient assessments of absorption and damping.Tests discussed in this method are based onthe Test Method E90 setup and procedure.This tes
5、t method is not intended to be a replacement of TestMethod E90;conversely,this method builds on the E90 method that is now well established.Similarly,this test method does not replace absorption testing discussed in Test Method C423,nor dampingtesting discussed in Test Method E756,though for reasons
6、 of convenience this method can be used tomake approximate assessments of how different treatments may impact these parameters.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the laboratory measurement ofthe acoustical effectiveness of treatments installed on shipbulkheads,decks,and side shells.Measurements are
7、focusedon assessing changes in transmission loss,radiation efficiency,and acceptance that occur when treatments are applied.Mea-surements of changes to absorption and damping are addressedin Appendix X1 and Appendix X2,respectively.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No o
8、ther units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of
9、 regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 Any material that is to be installed on a marine divisionmust meet appropriate fire,combustibility,and other applicableSOLAS,USCG,IMO,Navy,or other required non-acousticalstandards and specifications.See Appendix X3 for additionalinformation.2.Referenced Docu
