Abstract

Describes a method for determining mean sound level and mean band pressure level of airborne sound. It is an engineering method which requires a controlled environment for repeatable results.

Scope

This standard describes a method for determining the mean sound level and mean band pressure level of the airborne sound emitted by compressor/ primemover units intended for outdoor use. This is an engineering method in which care is required to establish a controlled environment in order to achieve repeatable results.
