ASTM E1414 Standard Test Method for Reducing Airborne Sound Between Rooms Sharing a Common Ceiling Plenum

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E1414 testing. This test method uses a laboratory space separated by a partition and arranged to simulate a pair of horizontally adjacent small offices or rooms that share a common general area.

ASTM E1414 Standard Test Method for Reducing Airborne Sound Between Rooms Sharing a Common Ceiling Plenum

The chamber either extends below or passes through a common plenum space. In the proposed configuration, the facility's special design features ensure that the only important sound transmission path is through the ceiling and plenum area.

Within the limitations stated in the severity statement, the primary quantity measured by this test method is the ceiling attenuation of a suspended ceiling installed in a laboratory setting. Taking into account the room sound absorption, the normalized ceiling attenuation can be determined.

The test method can also be used to evaluate the attenuation of composite ceiling systems consisting of ceiling material and other components such as fixtures and ventilation systems.

The procedures can also be used to examine the additional sound insulation that can be achieved with other attenuation measures. This will include materials used either as plenum barriers or as supports for all or part of the ceiling.

Values ​​stated in SI units or inch-pound units will be considered standard separately.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
