ASTM E1289
1. Scope
1.1 This specification describes the construction and installation of a standard reference specimen for quality control of laboratory sound transmission loss measurements using Test Method E90. Test Method E90 allows a significant latitude in the construction and operation of a test facility. It is the objective of standard measurement procedures that the property of a reference specimen being measured have the same value in all facilities.
1.2 This specification addresses the need for a reference specimen for sound transmission loss facilities where measurements are made according to Test Method E90. It describes in detail how the specimen is to be constructed and installed in a test opening.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are provided for information only.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
