The theory and apparatus for measuring sound absorption coefficient are the same as those we used to
measure the sound absorption coefficient of f abrics[3].
Sound absorption coefficients were measured from 250
c/s to 2000 c/s at intervals of 1/3 octaves generally.
Where necessary, we also made measurements
with
frequencies in between.
We used, as samples, 20 kinds of glass wool boards,
61 cm by 91.5 cm in size, made by three manufacturers
in Japan.
Their nominal thickness
and apparent
density are given in Table 1. Many specimens, 10cm
in diameter, were cut out of the glass wool boards,
with a circular punch installed in a drill press.
The
apparent density of the specimens fluctuated, making
an observed apparent density generally different from
the nominal apparent density of the glass wool board.
Five or six specimens were picked out of many
belonging to one kind of glass wool board in such a
