Acoustics - Noise from shooting ranges - Part 2: Estimation of muzzle blast and projectile sound by calculation (ISO 17201-2:2006)

This part of ISO 17201 specifies methods for estimating the acoustic source data of muzzle blast and explosions and the source data of projectile sound on the basis of non-acoustic data for firearms with calibres less than 20 mm and explosions less than 50 g TNT equivalent. This part of ISO 17201 addresses those cases where no source measurements exist or where the data necessary to calculate projectile sound according to ISO 1720 1-4 are unknown. An example of this situation would be measuring projectile sound from shot guns pellets. This part of ISO 1 7201 can also be used as an interpolation method between measurements of muzzle blast. Source data are given in terms of spectral angular source energy covering the frequency range from 12,5 Hz to 10 kHz and can be used as data input for sound propagation calculation.

Akustik - Geräusche von Schießplätzen - Teil 2: Bestimmung des Mündungsknalls und des Geschossgeräusches durch Berechnung (ISO 17201-2:2006)

Dieser Teil von ISO 17201 legt Verfahren fest zur Ermittlung akustischer Quelldaten des Mündungsknalls und von Explosionen sowie des Geschossgeräusches auf der Grundlage von nichtakustischen Daten für Handfeuerwaffen mit Kalibern kleiner als 20 mm und für Explosionen mit weniger als 50 g TNT-äquivalent.
Dieser Teil von ISO 17201 behandelt die Fälle, in denen keine Quellmessungen vorliegen oder in denen die erforderlichen Daten zur Berechnung des Geschossgeräusches nach ISO 17201-4 nicht bekannt sind. Dies ist beispielsweise bei Schroten der Fall, die aus Flinten abgefeuert werden. Dieser Teil von ISO 17201 kann außerdem als Interpolationsverfahren zwischen Messungen des Mündungsknalls angewendet werden.
Quelldaten sind angegeben im Hinblick auf die spektrale winkelabhängige Schallquellenenergie im Frequenzbereich von 12,5 Hz bis 10 kHz und können als Eingangsdaten zur Berechnung der Schallausbreitung verwendet werden.
Dieser Teil von ISO 17201 ist weder anwendbar für die Prognose von Schallpegeln zur Beurteilung von Gehörschädigungen noch für die Prognose von Schalldruckpegeln oder Schallexpositionspegeln unterhalb eines bestimmten Abstandes, bei dem lineare Akustik nicht anwendbar ist.

Acoustique - Bruit des stands de tir - Partie 2: Estimation de la détonation a la bouche et du bruit du projectile par calcul (ISO 17201-2:2006)

L'ISO 17201-2:2006 spécifie des méthodes pour estimer les données acoustiques de source du bruit à la bouche et des explosions et les données de source du bruit du projectile, sur la base de données non acoustiques, pour les armes à feu de calibre inférieur à 20 mm et les charges explosives inférieures à 50 g d'équivalent TNT.
L'ISO 17201-2:2006 traite des cas où il n'existe aucun mesurage de la source ou de ceux où les données nécessaires au calcul du bruit du projectile selon l'ISO 17201-4 ne sont pas connues, ce qui est notamment le cas du bruit de projectile de la grenaille tirée par des fusils de chasse. L'ISO 17201-2:2006 peut également servir de méthode d'interpolation entre des mesures du bruit à la bouche.
L'ISO 17201-2:2006 ne s'applique pas à l'estimation des niveaux sonores pour l'évaluation des dommages auditifs. Elle ne peut pas non plus servir à prédire les niveaux de pression acoustique ou d'exposition sonore en deçà d'une distance spécifique où l'acoustique linéaire ne s'applique pas.

ISO 17201-2:2006(E) iv © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 17201-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise. ISO 17201 consists of the following parts, under the general title Acoustics — Noise from shooting ranges: ⎯ Part 1: Determination of muzzle blast by measurement ⎯ Part 2: Estimation of muzzle blast and projectile sound by calculation ⎯ Part 4: Prediction of projectile sound The following parts are under preparation: ⎯ Part 3: Guidelines for sound propagation calculations ⎯ Part 5: Noise management The initiative to prepare a standard on impulse noise from shooting ranges was taken by AFEMS, the Association of European Manufacturers of Sporting Ammunition, in April 1996, by the submission of a formal proposal to CEN. After consultation in CEN in 1998, CEN/TC 211, Acoustics, asked ISO/TC 43/SC 1, Noise, to prepare the ISO 17201 series. SIST EN ISO 17201-2:2006



ISO 17201-2:2006(E) © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved vIntroduction Two basic sources dominate the shooting sound from firearms: the muzzle blast and the projectile sound. These two sources are basically different. The explosion blast from devices can be treated as muzzle blast. The muzzle blast is caused by the expanding gases of the propellant at the muzzle. The muzzle blast can be modelled based on essentially less spherical volume of these gases at that moment when the expansion speed becomes subsonic. The projectile sound is caused by the supersonic flight of the projectile along the trajectory from the muzzle to the target or to a point on the trajectory where the projectile speed becomes subsonic. The projectile sound stems from a section of the trajectory that coherently radiates a shock wave into a certain direction. In general, the procedures for estimating the source energy depends on the estimation of energies that are involved in related processes. The procedures give estimates for the fraction of these energies that transforms into acoustic energy. The result of the estimation is a set of acoustical source data with respect to energy, direction and frequency content. SIST EN ISO 17201-2:2006

This clause specifies methods for the estimation of acoustic source data of muzzle blast and explosions. Firearm muzzle blast is highly directive. Both angular source energy distribution and spectrum vary with angle from the line of fire. For the propagation calculations, frequency and angle-dependent source data are required as input data. Such detailed emission data, measured according to ISO 17201-1, are not readily available for a large variety of weapons and ammunition and there is a need to estimate the data from other technical information. This method may also be applied for explosives. For muzzle blasts, linear acoustics applies if the peak pressure is below 1 kPa. NOTE This method might not be suitable for firearms fitted with muzzle devices that influence the blast field, for example, a muzzle brake that reduces recoil by deflecting propellant gas flow as it exists from muzzle. The method is separated in two parts: firstly, the acoustic energy of the shot shall be estimated; secondly, the directional pattern of the source is to be applied and the spectrum calculated. The procedure allows the use of very general data or, if available, specific data to provide a more accurate result. Therefore, the procedure allows the use of alternatives such as default values or specific values for certain parameters. Due to this flexibility a flow chart is used to describe the steps of the procedure, including equations. In Figure 2 the left part of the flow chart shows how to estimate the muzzle source energy that is to be used in the right part of the flow chart to determine the acoustical source data. Branches in the flow chart that are alternatives are depicted by a logical sign “or”, ⊕. The logical sign for “and”, ⊗, means that both sets of information are needed to continue. The symbol ˆx denotes an default input value for the parameter x. If the parameter x is not known the default value may be used. Numbers at the top of boxes are the equation reference numbers. SIST EN ISO 17201-2:2006



ISO 17201-2:2006(E) © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved 9The standard-estimation is to be obtained by following the scheme (see Figure 2) along the given default parameters for all coefficients. This estimation is mandatory for the report. If a different value for any coefficient is used the reason for this shall be stated. 4.2 Estimation of chemical energy The key quantity for estimating the acoustic energy is the total chemical energy involved, Qc. If Qc is not known, two alternatives exist for determining Qc. The left-hand branch uses the kinetic energy of the projectile, Qp0, either known directly or alternatively calculated from the mass and projectile launch speed of the projectile [see Equation (1), in Figure 2]. The projectile energy is a fraction of the total energy. If the fraction σcp is not known, 35 % should be used as default. Equation (2) in Figure 2 then determines Qc. The right hand branch uses the mass of propellant or explosives. The impetus (conversion factor), u, depends on the type of propellant (e.g. 4 310 J/kg for TNT, or 5 860 J/kg for PETN). If the specific chemical energy, u, is not known a value of u = 4 500 J/kg should be used. 4.3 Estimation of acoustic energy The energy Qc is partially converted into heat and into the kinetic energy of the remaining gas (Qg), heat and friction between the barrel and projectile, and the kinetic energy of the projectile (Qp0) or accelerated material, respectively. The inner ballistics, in case of guns, will determine this balance [11]. A fraction of 45 % in Qc should be used as the default value for Qg, the only source of energy in the muzzle blast. Equation (5) accounts for the efficiency of the conversion of energy in the propellant gas, Qg, into the total acoustic energy of the muzzle blast, Qm. 4.4 Estimation of the Weber energy The part on the right of Figure 2 shows the flow chart used to determine the Weber energy, QW, which is the energy density of a Weber source with the Weber radius of 1 m. 4.5 Estimation of directivity For rotational symmetric radiation around the line of fire, the directional pattern of the source is described by a Fourier-series with respect to the angle α relative to the line of fire. If the directivity pattern, cn, is not known, the matrix shown as Equation (6) in Figure 2 gives a list of default values for some weapons. Applying the directivity, Y, to Qe in Equation (10) in Figure 2 yields the energy that flows through the slice, including the directional pattern of the source. 4.6 Estimation of the spectrum The next two steps in Equations (11) and (12) in Figure 2 use an acoustical model of explosions in air which allows an estimation of the Fourier-spectrum of the angular source energy distribution, where α is the direction as described in the Annex A, see also Reference [8]. The default values are validated model parameters and should only be changed if relevant information is available. The integral in Equation (12) should be integrated numerically; there is no known analytical solution. This estimation method should not be used for the prediction of peak pressure values or similar quantities. SIST EN ISO 17201-2:2006

The free field sound exposure level of projectile sound should be calculated using ISO 17201-4. However, ISO 17201-4 is applicable only if the parameters of the shot are known.
