SAMURAI Option
Overview
Field of Application:
Sound power measurements in reverberation chambers or under free-field conditions are often infeasible for reasons of cost or due to the location of the sound source. However, measurement of the sound power by intensity methods offers an alternative. The DIN EN ISO 9614 standard defines two such methods, which allow satisfactory results to be obtained even under less favorable acoustic conditions (e.g. extraneous noise).
Description:
The SAMURAI option SOUND POWER ISO 9614 allows sound power determination of noise sources from sound intensity measurements according to ISO 9614 Part 1 (Measurement at discrete points) and Part 2 (Measurement by scanning).
A clearly laid-out graphical program interface guides the user through the whole measurement procedure (configuring the measurement system, splitting into measurement segments, performing the individual measurements etc.), incorporating the field indicators (quality criteria) according to the norm.
