1、Designation:E224902(Reapproved 2008)Standard Test Method forLaboratory Measurement of Airborne Transmission Loss ofBuilding Partitions and Elements Using Sound Intensity1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2249;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year ofor
2、iginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis standard test method is part of a set for evaluating the sound
3、 transmission loss of a partitionor partition element under laboratory conditions.It differs from Test Method E90 in that the soundpower radiated by the element under test is measured directly using an intensity probe rather thanindirectly from the space averaged receiver room sound pressure and the
4、 room reverberation time.This test method is especially useful when the receiver room requirements of Test Method E90 can notbe achieved,or flanking sound involving the receiver room surfaces is present but its influence is tobe circumvented(1)2,as discussed in Annex A3.Others test methods to evalua

7、s,operable partitions,floor-ceiling assemblies,doors,windows,roofs,panels and other space-dividing buildingelements.It may also be have applications in sectors other thanthe building industry,although these are beyond the scope.1.2 The primary quantity reported by this standard is Inten-sity Transmi
8、ssion Loss(ITL)and shall not be given anothername.Similarly,the single-number rating Intensity SoundTransmission Class(ISTC)derived from the measured ITLshall not be given any other name.1.3 This test method may be used to reveal the soundradiation characteristics of a partition or portion thereof.1
9、.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 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-pri
