7.0 TEST RESULTS
7.1 Table-l shows the average values of RISAC for ROCKINSUL slab of 96 kg/m?
density and 100 mm thickness in the one-third octave frequency bands of
125 Hz to 8000 Hz.
7.2 Figure 1 shows the plot of average values of RISAC at one-third octave
frequencies for ROCKINSUL slab of 96 kg/m? density and 100 mm thickness.
8.0 CONCLUSIONS
The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is given by the average value of
sound absorption coefficient at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz. The
NRC for ROCKINSUL siab of 96 kg/m’ density and 100 mm thickness is 1.00.
