Transcription of Suggested Modifications to ASTM Test Method E 477
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
SOUND & VIBRATION/JUNE 2011 ASTM E-477 is the current standard test Method used in North America for evaluating the acoustic and aerodynamic perfor-mance of duct silencers. The test Method uses, at a minimum, a source chamber, a test duct (that includes a test specimen), and a reverberation chamber. If testing under flow is desired, the system also requires a fan chamber that can provide quiet airflow through the test duct. The results of the test Method yield silencer insertion loss, self-generated noise, both as a function of acoustic frequency and flow velocity, and pressure drop.
