TEST METHOD

Microflown Technologies offers a complete solution to measure the acoustic properties of materials with its In-situ
absorption setup. This method is a true alternative for the well known Kundt's method or reverberant room method.
Taking (destructive) samples is no longer required, and also the absorption of sound waves under oblique angles of
incidence, as they occur in practice of course, can finally be tested. The system can even measure, next to material
samples, complete assembled parts. Extremely high spatial resolution allows analysis of inhomogeneous, e.g.
perforated, materials. As the in situ method also works with a relative movement between sample and probe, end of
line control of materials has become possible. With a small, handheld impedance gun the acoustic absorption,
reflection or impedance can be measured in just a few minutes, broad banded, under normal and oblique angles. With
a sound source at 23cm from the probe the noise is generated towards the sample. The sound pressure and acoustic
particle velocity are measured right on the surface of the material.

Vertical Load Test:

Determination of maximum resistance to vertical loads (loads from panel stacked on top)
according to DIN EN 1794-1-2011-annex B, for a road traffic noise reducing panel, consisting of
Aluminium profile and mineral wool, dimension 3.0xO.5xO.12m

Dimensions of noise barrier panel:

Total Length = 3000mm

Height = 500mm
Thickness- 120mm

Weight of Panel = 27kg = 27 x 9.8066 /1000 = 0.265 KN / 1.5m2 = 0.176 KN/m2

Wet weight of Panel = 37.8 kg = 37.8 x 9.8066 / 1000 = 0.371KN / 1.5m2=0.247KN/m2

The load was applied hydraulically, in order to retain the original appearance of the load two
noise barrier panel 2.96m x 0.5m x 0.12m on each other as shown in fig.no.3; therefore the
measurement of the deformations took place at the lower element. The criteria of the maximum
load were: Vertical deflection (maximum L/300) and horizontal bulging (maximum h/50).

Results & Evaluation:

W h. def = 500mm/50 = 10mm

Maximum sustainable load;

Fd = 9.6KN/1.5 = 6.4 KN

Ver. d = 6.4 KN/0.247 KN x 2.96m = 8.75 panels

Since, the reduced wet weight equal to 37.8 kg (0.247 KN/m2).

Therefore, the height of noise barrier is 3.5m, i.e. the bottom panel can support up to 6 panels
stacked on top.
