Sound Transmission Ratings

Transcription

1 Sound Transmission Ratings Sound transmission measurements rely very heavily on the construction, insulation, underlayment and prior flooring. The following measurements do not include airborne sound, but instead provide an estimate of IIC (Impact Insulation Class), which measures structure-borne sound between floors. Your building s existing structure, insulation and/or existing flooring may affect this rating. We ve created basic guidelines to assist you in estimating the sound transmission ratings of our products. The following table lists sound ratings for a typical installation over concrete slabs. 150 mm Concrete Slab Finish Rubber Underlayment Ceiling Gypsum IIC STC LVT 2.5mm No No LVT 5mm No No LVT 10mm No No 55 54

This report applies to the samples tested only. Dry Pendulum Test Value (PTV) with Four S hard rubber slider before wear: 60 Surface roughness (Rtm), microns, for reference only 44 Wet Pendulum Test Value with Four S hard rubber slider: Before wear After wear Cycles of abrasion: Pendulum Test Value, wet: High Pendulum Test Values indicate potentially good traction. The Ceramic Tile Institute of America recommends a minimum Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 36 for level floors. Flooring with PTVs of have moderate slip potential, and 0-24 have high slip potential. Slip resistance can be affected by factors including but not limited to installation, surface treatments and sealers, detergents, abrasive pads, contamination, and wear. The abrasion method is used to assess the propensity of flooring to lose wet slip resistance. A typical specification for Sustainable Slip Resistance of new flooring is that the wet PTV after 500 cycles of abrasion should be 35 or higher. This test report shall not be reproduced, except in full, without the written approval of Sotter Engineering Corporation.

4 This Sustainable Slip Resistance test may not predict accurately the long-term sustainable slip resistance in a specific case since it is affected by the factors named above. Periodic monitoring is recommended to assess any changes in slip resistance. For more information on Sustainable Slip Resistance please see Respectfully submitted, SOTTER ENGINEERING CORPORATION J.
