Impedance Tube Kit

Impedance Tube can accurately measure sound absorption coefficients and impedance according to both ISO and ASTM standards. 

They also support the sound transmission loss measurements based on the Transfer Function Method. 

The Transfer Function Method separates the incident and reflected energy from the measured transfer function, and then estimates the acoustic properties of the tested sample installed in the tube.

The SW series Impedance Tubes are specially designed not only to work with the cut samples, but also for direct use in the field.

Impedance Tube System

60 Hz – 6300 Hz

Impedance Tube

Features:

  • Acoustical properties of material measurements based on the transfer-function method according to absorption coefficient standard of GB/T 18696.2, GB/J 88, ISO 10534-2 and ASTM E1050-12, and transmission loss standard of ASTM E2611–17
  • Separable sample holder tube is convenient for placement of materials to be test
  • Faster and more accurate compared to the standing wave ratio method
  • Frequency range can cover high and low bands, depends on various diameter of tube and the different microphone spacing
  • Improved sealing and connecting structures between tubes are convenient for measurement and has much better sealing and sound insulation performance

Applications:

  • Quantitative measurement of acoustic properties of materials
  • Measure the acoustic coefficients of materials which required for simulation software

sound absorption measurement

Conforms to the following standards:

ISO 10534-1: 1996 Acoustics-Determination of sound absorption coefficient and impedance in impedance tubes-Part 1: Method using standing wave ratio.

ISO 10534-2: 1998 Acoustics-determination of sound absorption coefficient and impedance in impedance tubes-Part 2: Transfer function method.

E 1050-08 Standard test method for impedance and absorption of acoustic materials using a tube, two microphones and digital frequency analysis.

E 2611-09 Standard test method for measuring sound transmission at normal incidence of acoustic materials based on the transmission matrix method.

The transmission loss is based on the transfer function method with four microphones, and the ISO standard.
The impedance tube system was developed on BSWA’s digital acquisition hardware with LabVIEW development platform.

ROGA 1/4’’ microphones MI19, which have excellent phase matches, are ideal for impedance applications.

The microphones are directly connected to optional 2-channel Plug.n.DAQ Lite or 4-channel MC3242 data acquisition hardware.

PA50 power amplifier is used to drive the loud speaker in the impedance tube.

The VA-Lab software provides all measurement functions for sound absorption and transmission loss testing.
