How the absorption coefficients of 703 would look like in DIN?

A little different. ASTM testing data is for 1/3 octave bands. Even when only octave frequencies are reported, the actual data is 1/3 octave bands. DIN reporting on octave frequencies is for the octave band average of the three 1/3 octave bands. That is one difference that I recall immediately. Perhaps Eric can jump in provide a complete accurate description of the differences.

Hmmm....what this diffrence would look like when 703 would be measured with DIN norms?
Would the absorption coefficients change?

Code: Select all


ASTM

        in  mm      125     250     500    1000     2000    4000  Hz

703    2   (51)    0.17     0.86   1.14    1.07     1.02    0.98

I can not answer your question at all with the information you gave. ASTM testing AND reporting is on 1/3 octave bands. You have only shown the results in every third band, not all of them.

I would show you more results but I don't have :mrgreen:
In Produkt PDFs they only show what I have posted.

Thanks for attansion...
