Title
Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of the Effectiveness of Floor Coverings in Reducing Impact Sound Transmission Through Concrete Floors
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 10, 2003
Scope:
This test method describes a method for the laboratory measurement of
the effectiveness of floor
coverings in reducing impact noise from a standard tapping machine
through concrete floors. The
test results are not necessarily directly related to the subjective
evaluations of the floor
coverings.
This test method applies to all floor coverings, whether single or
multi-layered, as installed on a
standard concrete floor. Multi-layered coverings may be
factory-assembled or assembled at the test
laboratory.
The test method applies only to laboratory measurements. It does not
apply to the measurement of
the effectiveness of a floor covering in a field situation.
Laboratory Accreditation - A procedure for accrediting a laboratory
for performing this test method
is given in Method E 492.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
