This SAE Recommended Practice provides test methods for determining the characteristics of acoustical and thermal materials. Where applicalbe, methods of test developed by SAE and ASTM have been referenced.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a method of determining the relative flexibility of padding and/or acoustical composites.

This procedure describes a method of determining the relative flexibility of padding and/or acoustical composites.

This procedure describes a method of determining the relative flexibility of padding and/or acoustical composites.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a method of determining the relative flexibility of padding and/or acoustical composites.

This procedure measures the resistance to radiant heat flow of insulating materials in sleeve form. The sleeve’s effectiveness (SE) is determined by measuring the difference in surface temperature of a flat black, single-diameter ceramic cylinder with and without the standard diameter sleeve at the specified temperature, position, and distance from the radiant heat source.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the test procedure, facilities, and instrumentation for determining the noise reduction characteristics of materials commonly installed in ground vehicles, marine, products, and aircraft to reduce noise levels. This document is intended to provide a means of rank ordering materials by utilizing facilities that do not necessarily meet all of the acoustical requirements in ASTM E 90, Laboratory Measurements of Airborne Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions. Latitude is permitted in certain test conditions to allow better correlation with in-use acoustical results.
