The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide guidelines for selection of transducers, data acquisition systems, and other instrumentation as well as analysis methods to help ensure proper measurement and evaluation of acoustic impulses in automobiles. While this Recommended Practice focuses on automotive inflatable devices, such as, frontal airbag systems, pretensioners, inflatable curtains, side airbags, etc., it can be used for measurement of other impulsive sounds in a vehicle if needed. The objective is to achieve uniformity in instrumentation practice and reporting of test measurements. Use of this recommended practice should provide a basis for meaningful comparisons of test results from different sources. This recommended practice specifies procedures for static measurement of acoustic impulses, but due to the much more complicated nature of crash testing, does not specify procedures for measuring impulses in vehicles during crash tests.
Rationale
A complete review has been performed on this document. Numerous revisions were made to update the document with information developed since the last reaffirmation in 1987. Technological advances in instrumentation techniques, data acquisition methods, sensors and analysis techniques have been incorporated into this new revision. It is reasonable to consider this as a new document even though the number is the same and the goal of the document remains the same, nearly every section was revised according to state-of-the-art lab practice and instrumentation methods. After initial publication in November 2012, two issues came to light. The NOV2012 version had a broken hyperlink, and there was a typographical error in section 9.1.1.2.2.3. In this version of the Recommended Practice, the hyperlink was removed because the files to which it pointed are now included with the purchase of the Recommended Practice. The typographical errors were also amended.
The primary objective of the Inflatable Restraints Standards Committee (IRSC) is to utilize the experience, knowledge and technical skills of its membership to address engineering problems that fall within the scope of members’ activities and interests. IRSC members, working in small groups or within Task Forces, carry out the following tasks: • develop, implement and validate all necessary investigations and studies to prepare Technical Reports, Information Reports and Recommended Practices; • work with industry, government, academia, regulatory bodies and other SAE committees in advising, consulting and exchanging pertinent technical information and data; • periodically review and revise Technical Reports, Information Reports and Recommended Practices to maintain their technical integrity, usefulness and clarity; • assist other committees, task forces or groups that could benefit from the IRSC members’ broad technical expertise and knowledge base.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
