Acoustics - Noise emitted by machinery and equipment - Engineering method for the determination of emission sound pressure levels in situ at the work station and at other specified positions using sound intensity (ISO 11205:2003)

This International Standard specifies an engineering method (grade 2 accuracy) to determine the emission sound pressure level of machines in situ, at the work station or at other specified positions, using sound intensity. It is an alternative to ISO 11201, ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 for in situ measurements. It is applicable to all kinds of test environments provided that the requirements on background noise and field indicators are fulfilled. This International Standard is applicable to equipment emitting stationary broadband noise. The noise can differ between operational cycles and can be with or without discrete frequency or narrow band components.

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.

to all kinds of test environments provided that the requirements on background noise and field indicators are
fulfilled.
This International Standard is applicable to equipment emitting stationary broadband noise. The noise can
differ between operational cycles and can be with or without discrete frequency or narrow band components.

5A
4 Measurement uncertainty
A single value of an emission sound pressure level of a noise source determined according to the procedures
of this International Standard is likely to differ from the true value at a fixed position by an amount within the
range of the measurement uncertainty. The uncertainty in measurements of emission sound pressure levels
arises from several factors which affect the results, some associated with environmental conditions in the
measurement room and others with experimental techniques. A method for the determination of the
measurement uncertainty from information on the various influence parameters is specified in the GUM.
Until more specific knowledge is available, the estimation of the measurement uncertainty might be based on
existing information on the standard deviations of reproducibility and repeatibility according to ISO 7574-1.
Extensive measurement data are necessary in order to establish standard deviations of reproducibility and
repeatability of emission sound pressure levels at individual positions; in any case, these standard deviations
are likely to vary considerably between the many types of different machinery and equipment to which this
International Standard is applied. It is therefore not possible to provide information that is universally
applicable, and reference can only be made to noise test codes for relevant data on individual types of
machines.
A typical value for the standard deviation of reproducibility is given in Table 1. From this, and with additional
information on the standard deviation of repeatibility, the total standard deviation and an estimate of the
expanded measurement uncertainty for a coverage probability of approximately 95 % corresponding to a
coverage factor of two, may be derived, as indicated.

5 Principle
The basic principle of the test method is that the sound intensity in a diffuse sound field is small (theoretically it
should be zero) and that the sound pressure level equals the sound intensity level in a free progressive wave.
The test method assumes that sound which has been reflected will add up to a diffuse sound field. The direct
sound from the machine under test will not be part of the diffuse sound field but constitute the free progressive
wave.
These assumptions will not be fulfilled if sound intensities from different parts of the machine with similar
magnitude will meet at the probe and, to some extent, cancel each other. In such cases, the sound intensity
will become smaller and, assuming uncorrelated summation, the sound pressure will become greater. In such
cases, the level of the sound intensity vector will underestimate the emission sound pressure level. By adding
K to deal with the underestimate of the floor reflection and, for large machines, by requiring that the sound
5
field pressure-intensity indicator meets the criterion specified in 8.5 the underestimate will be negligible.
6 Instrumentation
6.1 General
−12 2
The intensity-measuring instrumentation shall be able to measure intensity levels re 10 W/m in decibels in
octave or one-third-octave bands. The instrument, including the probe, shall comply with a Class 1 instrument
in accordance with IEC 61043:2003. If the probe does not have a flat frequency response above 5 000 Hz,
see Annex B.
The residual pressure-intensity index δ of the microphone probe and analyser shall be higher than
pI0
F + 10 dB in each octave or one-third-octave band.
pI
6.2 Calibration
The compliance of the instrumentation system with the requirements of IEC 61043 shall be verified
periodically in a manner that is traceable to appropriate standards.
During each series of measurements, the instrument and the probe shall be calibrated at least at one
frequency in the range from 200 Hz to 1 000 Hz in accordance with the calibration procedure.

The following field checks to test the instrument shall be made before each series of measurements.
a) Carry out a field check according to the instrument manufacturer's specifications.
If no field check is specified by the instrument manufacturer, check the instrumentation according to b)
and c):
b) Sound pressure level: Check each pressure microphone of the intensity probe for sound pressure level
using a Class 1 calibrator in accordance with IEC 60942:2003.
c) Intensity: Calibrate using an intensity calibrator. If such a calibrator is not available or if the probe
construction does not allow it, make a check as follows. Place the intensity probe, oriented towards the
most important source of sound emission, at a position where the noise from the machine is characteristic
for that machine. The intensity probe should be mounted on a stand to retain the same position while
carrying out the measurement check. Measure the intensity. Reverse the direction of the intensity probe
180° in the same position as the first measurement and measure the intensity
