Transmission Loss and Absorption Coefficients of Small Samples on a Desktop    Scantek, Inc. now offers a set of acoustical ducts and measuring transducers and software to measure and report acoustical characteristics of small samples.

The new device, Acoustic Duct, from Scien Ltd., is a complete turnkey system to measure sound absorption coefficient using ASTM E-1050 and sound transmission loss using a draft ASTM procedure. In absorption the sample is mounted at the end of a tube. In transmission it is mounted in the middle. The test, for one sample takes perhaps 25-minutes to set up and each sample can be tested with full graphics, in about two minutes. The main feature of this system is the ease of set-up and operation. It uses precision components and easily fits on a desktop.
