Title
Standard Test Method for Field Measurement of Tapping Machine Impact Sound Transmission Through Floor-Ceiling Assemblies and Associated Support Structures
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2004
Scope:
This test method covers the measurement of the transmission of impact
sound generated by a standard
tapping machine through floor-ceiling assemblies and associated
supporting structures in field
situations.
Measurements may be conducted on all types of floor-ceiling
assemblies, including those with
floating-floor or suspended ceiling elements, or both, and
floor-ceiling assemblies surfaced with
any type of floor-surfacing or floor-covering materials.
This test method further prescribes:
A uniform procedure for reporting test data, that is, the normalized
one-third octave band sound
pressure levels generated in the receiving room by the operation of
the standard tapping machine on
the floor-ceiling assembly.
The use of a single-figure classification rating, "Field Impact
Insulation Class, FIIC" that can be
used by architects, builders, and specification and code authorities
for acoustical evaluation
purposes in completed buildings. The FIIC is obtained by matching a
standard reference contour to
the plotted normalized one-third octave band sound pressure levels at
each test frequency obtained
in accordance with this test method. For details regarding the
derivation and significance of the
FIIC, see Classification E 989.
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.
