The requirements for setting up and operating the machinery, the microphone array and the size of the hemispherical measurement surface are given in this recommended practice. This recommended practice shall be used in conjunction with ISO 4872-1978, which gives the basic criteria for the acoustic environment, instrumentation, microphone positions, procedures for the measurement of the A-weighted sound pressure levels and the calculation of the A-weighted sound power levels.

This recommended practice shall be used in conjunction with ISO 4872-1978, which gives the basic criteria for the acoustic environment, instrumentation, micro phone positions, procedures for the measurement of the A-weighted sound pressure levels and the calculation of the A-weighted sound power levels.

The requirements for setting up and operating the machinery, the microphone array and the size of the hemispherical measurement surface are given in this standard. This standard shall be used in conjunction with ISO 4872-1978, which gives the basic criteria for the acoustic environment, instrumentation, microphone positions, procedures for the measurement of the A-weighted sound pressure levels and the calculation of the A-weighted sound power levels.

This SAE Standard describes a method for measuring the weighted sound pressure levels at prescribed microphone positions in the proximity of a device or machine for outdoor use, in order to determine compliance with noise limits. The A-weighted sound power level of the source is calculated from the measured values.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the exterior noise emitted by earthmoving machinery in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is in a stationary test condition. At six positions on a hemispherical surface, the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure levels are measured. The A-weighted sound power level of the machinery is calculated from the measured values.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the noise emitted by earthmoving machinery at the operator's position in terms of the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level while the machine is in a stationary test condition.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the noise emitted to the environment by earthmoving machinery in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is working under dynamic test conditions.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the noise emitted by earthmoving machinery at the operator’s position in terms of the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level while the machine is carrying out a simulated work cycle.

This SAE Standard sets forth measurement procedures and instrumentation to be used for determining a “representative” sound level during a representative time period at selected measurement locations on a construction site boundary. The document is not intended for use in determining occupational hearing damage risk. Determination of a representative time period is left to the judgment of the user.
