The sound power can be determined in two ways. The distinction is made between sound power determination by means of sound pressure measurement and sound power determination by means of sound intensity measurement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Sound pressure measurement is characterized by the fact that only the local sound pressure level and all of its disturbance variables is recorded at a measurement location. Thus, we know how loud it is at this local point, but not from which direction the sound is coming. This method is therefore well suited in a quiet measurement environment with little background noise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
In a measurement environment with potential noise interference, a sound intensity measurement should be performed to determine the sound power. This is particularly useful for stationary systems that are operating in a production hall. In contrast to the sound pressure measurement, the sound intensity is a vectorial quantity, so that the direction of the sound can be determined.<\/p>
Ambient noise can thus be better detected and excluded from the results. The sound power can therefore usually be determined more accurately by means of sound intensity measurements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 1. Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/p> The first step is the selection of the standard according to which the measurement is to be performed. The two series of standards DIN EN ISO 3740 – 3746 and DIN EN ISO 9614 1 – 3 are mainly used for this purpose. The main difference between these two standards is that sound pressure is measured in the 374x series, whereas sound intensity is measured in the 9614 series. However, both series of standards have in common that sound pressure or sound intensity measurements have to be performed at numerous, spatially precisely defined positions. The measurement positions are usually located on an enveloping surface surrounding the measurement object, which can be cuboid, cylindrical or spherical shaped, depending on the underlying standard and sound source. The dimensions of the enveloping surface and the measured sound quantities (Pa or W\/m\u00b2) are finally used to determine the total sound power level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/p> Step 2. Determine microphone positions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p> In practice, however, measuring the standard-compliant measuring positions is very time-consuming and in some cases it is even left to the eye of the measuring engineer. Often, self-made constructions or adhesive tape markings on the floor are used to help. With the sound intensity module of our augmented reality software, however, this is no longer necessary. After entering the dimensions of the measurement object, the AR glasses automatically calculate the enveloping surface and the measurement positions and display them with spatial accuracy. The measurement setup can be seen virtually in space and it remains stationary in place. Thus, the measurement engineer can walk around it and conveniently perform the measurement at all virtual positions.<\/p> Step 3. Measurement:<\/span><\/strong><\/p> During the measurement, certain criteria must be observed. A selection of these criteria is listed here:<\/p> Step 4. Logging:<\/span><\/strong><\/p> Finally, the logging and the interpretation of the measurement results are carried out. The exact information that must be included in a complete report can be found in the standards mentioned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The sound power can be determined in two ways.
